Table B.1:

TV input parameters. For notational convenience, the surface and chordae parameters have been consolidated, where sets or collections of the same parameter at different TV locations, as indicated in Figure 3 and Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 (e.g., SL, AS, PS, AP), are replaced by (·). The index variable i indicates the number of annulus control points, and the index variable k = 1,2,3 indicates the three coordinates of the papillary locations.
