SolidWorks like "Boundary Surface"

I am aware that there are some freecad surface functionality available through Python. Which of these is closest to the SolidWorks "Boundary Surface" functionality?

I have the exterior/bounding curve as a single wire (isClosed=True) and some guide curve wires, all in 3d space. But, I am unsure as how to generate a 3d surface from them. The Part.Face command appears to work fine for the wires if they are 2d, but doesn't generate a valid surface when the wires are 3d.

The curves I am using are build using some complex mathematics and the points are explicit. Am I better off trying to convert to bspline or bezier representations of the curves? My guess is that would be difficult.

Thanks,
Alex
