VLmindxyz
by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - Analytical Geometry
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 4.1, Creation date: 2017-08-24, Last change: 2025-09-14
returns the minimal distance larger than zero
Description
The smallest number in matlab different from zero is eps ~1e-15;
The typical arithmetic error of ordinary calculation is ~1e-12;
The smallest trigonometric number bigger than zero is eps2 ~1e-07;
A boolean surface operation should use coordinate grids ~1e-03;
The crossing points NPL of those coordinate would be up to ~1e-12;
Rounding limits > 1e-12 will create new point in triangulation;
