Rotation angle of curves where the shortest length gets largest

Hi :slight_smile:

I’m currently working on simulating geometric behavior of a plate when it is bent + twisted(without considering material property).

I assumed that the distance between the middle point of longside edges of the plate will always be kept the same with the width of the plate, which I set 30mm in the grasshopper file.

And now, I’m trying to rotate these longside edges of the plate and find the angle where the shortest length between these curves get largest.

I think I can find the angle where the shortest length between these curves get largest by using optimization plugin like galapagos, but I would like to know if there is other easier way to instantly find the angle.

Any guidance will be appreciated!!
