This paper aimed at modeling a fine triangular grid for network dome by using Harmony Search (HS) algorithm. For this purpose, an optimization process to find a fine regular triangular mesh on the curved surface was proposed and the analysis program was developed. An objective function was consist of areas and edge's length of each triangular and its standard deviations, and design variables were subject to the upper and lower boundary which was calculated on the nodal connectivity. Triangular network dome model, which was initially consist of randomly irregular triangular mesh, was selected for the target example and the numerical result was analyzed in accordance with the HS parameters. From the analysis results of adopted model, the fitness function has been converged and the optimized triangular grid could be obtained from the initially distorted network dome example.

임의의 체눈 모양에서 어떤 절점에서 출발하여 출발한 절점으로 되돌아 오는 최단 경로를 탐색함으로써 2차원 유한요소의 연결관계를 자동추출할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 한 절점에서 가능한 여러 경로 중에서 가능성이 큰 경로만을 탐색하게 하였고 추출된 경로에 대하여 요소로서의 유일성 및 적합성을 검사하였다. 제안된 방법이 완전함을 증명하였으며 예제를 통하여 일반적인 자동발생 기능의 적용이 어려운 체눈 모양에 대해서도 정확하게 요소를 추출할 수 있음을 보였다.
