Hello,

I need a surface that is a topological disk which I can parameterize
using the Least Squares Conformal Method. Its essential that this surface
doesn't need a cut!

I'm trying to run a scientific simulation on an open 2D curved surface
embedded in 3D, and would
like this surface to then be conformally parameterized to the 2D plane using
LSCM.
For the simulation to work however, the surface cannot have any cuts made
before parameterizing!

Can anyone give me a hint as to how I can create such a surface?
So far I have created surfaces using implicit functions and meshed them in
CGAL,
taking sections of these to give me my open surface.
These parameterize fine, with a cut, but I haven't managed to create a
surface that is a
topological disk yet!

Even though I know what a topological disk is, I'm not too sure on how to
create one effectively
ready for Delaunay meshing to run my simulation.

If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful!
