The first Scherk surface is the only minimal surface that is a translation surface. It is obtained by translation of the curve of the log cosine (which is also the catenary of equal strength) along itself. This tiny add-on adds a mesh menu entry to generate the first scherk surface Array-Like in your workspace.
