Generating a "mesh-like" SweepOneRail

Dear all,

I am using the SweepOneRail class in order to generate the surface above. There are two section curves (the thick black lines) and a rail curve (hidden here).

Instead of generating a NURBS, I would like to generate a mesh out of the same geometrical transformation.
Please note that I am not interested in post-rationalizing this surface but in generating the mesh upfront. So in other words, I would like to get only the planes - or intermediate cross-sections - from this geometrical transformation and not the surface. I would like to be able to play with the resolution of those, increase and decrease locally the density of the planes/cross-sections.

Besides the SweepOneRail class, I couldn't find any interpolation method that takes into account two profile curves as well as a rail curve. I tried to browse a bit openNURBS for some source code, but this was unsuccessful.

Does anyone here might know how I could perform such operation, and indicate me the maths behind the SweepOneRail class in order to retrieve only the planes?

Best,

Paul
