ConchoidSurface::usage="The definition of a conchoid surface is:​
r
c
​[u, v] = r[u, v] ± k
r[u,v]-P
r[u,v]-P
​, P is the pole, k distance and r[u, v] the base surface.In this notebook we will obtain the conchoid surface of the cylinder ​{Cos[u]​, Sin[u]​, v} with the distance k = 1.5 and as pole P the origin.Reference: Peternell, M. et al.Conchoid surfaces of rational ruled surfaces.
