Applies (internal) surface relaxation using dynamic relaxation to a polygon surface, in order to optimize the surface grid or to make minimal surfaces

Source this .mel file.
Run nlgo; to bring up the interface.

Select the vertices of the polygon surface you wish to optimize and then run the optimization from the interface.
If you invoke the surface constraint for internal surface relaxation, the vertices will remain within the selected nurbs-surface. You can additionally invoke the curve constraint on selected curves. In this case, first select the surface, then the curves and finally the vertices.
Be aware! The script makes use of flushUndo to speed up the processing.

  Kevin,
  
  Execute the script and then start the menu by typing nlgo; in the command line (MEL)

  Hello everyone,
  
  The script fully works under maya 8.5. Also the surface constraint. I'm almost leaving BK so i will not be on 7N anymore. You can still contact me on marcelhaasnoot@gmail.com for information.

  thanks

  i am very interested in this script, but i cant seem to get it to work. i am running maya 8.5 and when i run the script nothing happens (not even an error).
  
  i dont know what you mean by "nglo" either.
  
  thanks!

  Very nice script! Thanks. Can you please tell us more about what exactly the algorithm does.

  I am having difficulties with the constraints options clicked. Error messages like:
  
  // Error: line 268: The source attribute '.ws' cannot be found. //
  
  and:
  Error: line 211: Current selection doesn't match required selection type.
