Hi Chris, I guess you'd call that a relief pattern? Maybe something like geometric relief pattern?

The main strategy would be probably something like build a 2D pattern first mostly by copying or mirroring an initial cell:

Then to get the relief element, turn on control points for all the lines and displace several in elevation, then select a region and use Construct > Planar (or Construct > Network) to form surfaces.
