What is a "core curve"? For example, what is a core curve of a cylinder? Sorry if I ask a trivial question, but I couldn't find out the definition of core curve / core geodesic.

In this case the core curve, called Seele in german, is just the straight line through the center of the cylinder. If you bend the cylinder it will also be the “curve in the middle”.
