Abstract

To improve the application functions and structure characteristics of single reticulated dome, we divide it into two parts: upper layer and lower layer, and construct them with two different typical single reticulated domes respectively to form six hybrid single reticulated domes. According to the characteristics of node generation and element connection, we put forward six hybrid single reticulated domes modeling methods and complete corresponding modeling macro programs by using the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL), and achieve the shell modeling in given design parameters. The modeling examples show that the method is simple, efficient and practical. This method may facilitate structure force analysis and optimization design of different types and different parameters models by using ANSYS software, which also offer a kind of effective method to expand the reticulated dome type.
