In this paper consideration is given to problem of developing a converter which will enable convert models of geodesic domes from external 3D format to preprocessor Patran format and structural analysis of this geodesic domes. A library of Framework and Visual Basic was used for building the converter.  

Keywords: geodesic dome, structural analysis, geometrical models, grammar, the converter, preprocessor/postprocessor
