Surface[ <Expression a>, <Expression b>, <Expression c>, <Parameter Variable 1>, <Start Value>, <End Value>, <Parameter Variable 2>, <Start Value>, <End Value> ]
Yields the Cartesian parametric 3D surface for the given x-expression a, y-expression b and z -expression c, using two parameter variables within the given intervals [Start Value, End Value].
Example:
  • Surface[2 sin(t) * sin(v), sin(v), cos(v), t, 0, 2π, v, -π, π]
creates the related surface in Graphics View 3D.
  • Let, r and R, two positive real,
Surface[(R + r cos( u)) cos(v) , (R + r cos( u)) sin(v) , r sin(u ), u, 0, 2 π , v, 0, 2 π]
creates the torus generated by a circle of radius r which rotates about zAxis at a distance R.


Note:
  • End Value must be greater than or equal to Start Value and both must be finite.
  • x, y and z are not allowed as parameter variables.
