Algoritmo para la Creación del Modelo Alámbrico de un Techo Fijo para Tanque de Almacenamiento de Combustible en Forma de Domo Geodésico Esférico

Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm for the creation of the wireframe model of a spherical geodesic dome, used as a fixed roof for fuel storage tanks. The geodesic dome is a structure composed of bars and nodes arranged along the edges and vertices of a polyhedron inscribed on a spherical surface. The proposed algorithm is based on the review and compilation of information from various researches, aiming to generate a geometric model for further resistance analysis by the finite element method. The work details the procedure and geometric expressions used, and presents a computer program developed to validate the algorithm.
