Given continuous curvature and torsion as functions of t, a unique 3D curve is identified by solving a system of 3 vector differential equations, known as Frenet's equations. Each equation refer to one the vector basis: tangent, normal and binormal vectors. Each equation can be split into 3 scalar equation whose unknowns are the coordinates of each vector.
The resulting system is linear with a 9x9 antisymmetric matrix. It is solved by means of ode45 solver.
