Popis: Based on the geometric characteristics of five typical cylindrical shell structures, a method of the node generation and element connection of the reticulated shell is established in the cylindrical coordinate system. A macro program is designed by using its own Parametric Design Language APDL (ANSYS Parametric Design Language) based on the platform of ANSYS. This five typical cylindrical shell modeling are realized under given parametric conditions such as span, rise high, length and number of grids. It is proved by several examples that this method is simple, efficient and possible. It can be easily used to analysis the internal force and optimize design in shell structures
