The IGA2DNurbsUVW class gives you access to IGA 2d nurbs uvw cards in PRIMER. More...
The PRIMER JavaScript API provides many class constants, properties and methods. For Arup to
be able to extend and enhance the API in the future any constant, property or method names beginning with a lowercase
or uppercase letter are reserved.
If you need to add your own properties or methods to one of the existing classes then to avoid any potential future conflict you
should ensure that the name begins with either an underscore (_) or a dollar sign ($) or the name is prefixed with your
own unique identifier.
For example if company 'ABC' need to add a property called 'example' then to avoid any potential future conflict use one of:
| Name | Type | Description |

| nr | integer | Number of control points in the local r-direction. |
| ns | integer | Number of control points in the local s-direction. |
