The program «Gofro» is intended for the automated generation of data on the geometrical scheme of the beam with corrugated or plane web for further use in design complexes. The program has got a window interface, and it consists of one module for the input of feed da-ta, for calculation and for the display of its results in txt file format. The program offers a possibility to choose the outline of the structure, the profile of the web, the type of cross-section, and to set other parameters of the structure. When building up the model with the help of the author program «Gofro» and GMSH preprocessor for the automatic genera-tion of finite element mesh, the correctness of geometrical shape of elements is monitored by the algorithms that are input in the preprocessor. The author compares the time re-quired to create the models using the author program and GMSH preprocessor and using the standard resources of «Lira» software system. The authors performed numerical studies of various I-beams created in the program «GOPRO».
