This paper deals with the generation of minimal surfaces subject to a prescribed volume constraint and surfaces with a given mean curvature. The generation of a surface with a desired curvature is related to finding the equilibrium state of the surface under a uniform state of tension and under a prescribed pressure. Assuming an initial configuration, the surface is discretized into nodes and elements,...
