— In this study, optimization of geodesic type steel dome is carried out for 20 m diameter class 2 subdivision method 2 for division frequency 4, 6 and 8. Generation of geometry is carried out using CADREGEO and then imported into STAAD.PRO software. Customized JAVA Scripting is developed further for creating structural geometry in ANSYS® Design Modeler. Primarily the Excel sheet was used to systematically develop the JAVA script from the STAAD geometry data .The static structure analysis is carried out in ANSYS® Workbench. Parametric sets required for various input and output parameter were defined and used in ANSYS® Design Exploration tools. Lastly, Optimization is performed in ANSYS® workbench using Response surface optimization tool. The Optimized weight and the corresponding member sections extracted from this optimization is presented.
