Abstract
Handmade sketches of different shapes roof structures, often with openings, are outlined on plain sheet of paper. Then, they are transformed by a 2D mesh generation and applied to FEM calculations. Algorithm where only main coordinates of nodes are used as user input data is studied by the Authors. Shape of the surface, its curvature and openings are detected through the procedures developed in the C++ programming language. A particular emphasis is put to the automation of the process. At a present version the method is used for rectangular shapes, which are quite common in civil engineering structures e.g. building elevations. Detection and processing algorithms are implemented with a usage of a library based on a open code called OpenCV. The computer software is described in this paper and some examples are given
