Extrude in 2 steps:
/* Defaults */
Geometry.Surfaces = 1; //
/* Settings */
x0 = 0.0;
y0 = 0.0;
z0 = 0.0;
c1 = 0.05;
amp = 0.05;
r1 = 0.5*amp;
t0 = 2.0;
R0 = 0.5;
lambda = 2*R0;
L = lambda;
/* Discretization */
np = 10;
nt = 10;
dx = L/(np - 1);
Geometry.ExtrudeSplinePoints = nt;
// initial point
X[0] = x0 - lambda/2;
Y[0] = y0 + r1;
P0 = newp;
P[0] = P0;
Point(P0) = {X[0],Y[0],z0,c1};
// 'revolution' profile
For p In {1:np-1}
X[p] = X[0] + p*dx;
Y[p] = Y[0] + amp*Sinh(t0)*(1.0 + Cos(2*Pi*X[p]/lambda) );
Pp = newp;
Point(Pp) = {X[p],Y[p],z0,c1};
P[p] = Pp;
L = newl;
Line(L) = {P[p-1],P[p]};
extr[] = Extrude{ {0,0,0}, {1,0,0}, {0,0,0}, Pi }{ Line{L};};
extr2[] = Extrude{ {0,0,0}, {1,0,0}, {0,0,0}, Pi }{ Line{extr[0]};};
