This model demonstrates the creation of anticlastic shells by defining the number of sides of a supporting polygon, along with its length and height. Anticlastic shells feature a double-curved surface, being convex in one direction and concave in another, typically used in architectural and structural applications. The flexibility in choosing the number of sides allows for customized shell geometries suited for various design requirements. This input method facilitates straightforward adjustments and manipulation of the shell form.
