Hi,

rotational surfaces of all your models are ruled surfaces. Therefore Gaussian curvature (product of min and max curvature) is equal to zero in every surface point.

You might want to look into the simple 'Curvature' analysis which you can also apply to surfaces.
Off course it depends on what kind of information you are seeking.
