b-spline

In computer graphics, a curve that is generated using a mathematical formula that assures continuity with other b-splines. See spline and NURB.

(computer science)
A curve that is generated by a computer-graphics program, guided by a mathematical formula which ensures that it will be continuous with other such curves; it is mathematically more complex but easier to blend than a Bézier curve.

We estimate the tensor-product B-spline coefficients from values of |B| computed on a grid by a numerical code that numerically solves the Biot-Savart law numerically corresponding to the geometry of the solenoid and current bars that produce the magnetic field.
Rhino, from Robert McNeel & Associates (Seattle, WA), is an extremely inexpensive, Windows-based, free-form 3D modeling program that handles non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves, surfaces, and solids.
