On the basis of the principle of modularity, an algorithm and software package for dynamic calculation of structurally-inhomogeneous multiply connected shell units that are the elements of hydro-technical structures are developed in the paper. The purpose of the module is to carry out certain transformations of the initial (source) information into a unique result. The development prospects of construction of various hydro-technical structures, aircraft, rocket and space machinery, shipbuilding, chemical engineering and many other branches of modern technology are characterized by a complication of design decisions in projecting and calculation of objects that present multiply connected spatial shell structures subjected to static and dynamic effects. Multiply connected structures, (such as hydro-technical structures), usually include a wide range of elastic and visco-elastic deformable elements with significantly different rheological properties in the form of blocks of plate stacks, tubular, cylindrical and prismatic shell structures of complex geometry, with attached masses, various types of reinforcement, supports, containing a large number of elastic and visco-elastic couplings with significantly different functions of heredity. Obviously, the search for exact analytical solutions to dynamic problems for structurally inhomogeneous visco-elastic shell structures is doomed to failure, the only possibility of engineering implementation is to build numerical and numerical-analytical algorithms with the subsequent use of modern computers. The solution to dynamic problems involves a numerical simulation of the stress-strain state (SSS) of the structures under consideration.
