hyperbolic paraboloid

Hi everybody,

I want to model xenakis' Philips Pavilion in Catia as a modeling exercise but I don't know how to do the hyperbolic paraboloid. Any idea on how to proceed?
Thank you for your help!

RE: hyperbolic paraboloid

Depends on what you have to start with. Do you have sketches or equations? If you have the equations I would use Matlab or something similar to create the geometry and import it into Catia. You could then use this model as is or as a verification of your modeling methods. I hope this helps.
