Hi

Design the whole mosque regardless of the dome (consider only its dead and live loads).

Dominant component in dome is compression, so they only need some minimal reinforcement, in most cases. The best way is to place minimum reinforcement and check the results with a general purpose FE software, such as Abaqus. If you are in a seismic prone region, roof accelerations should be also imposed at the dome base during final check.

I would recommend STAADPro and Orion software as this two software are quite efficient in structural analysis of building structures.

you can try SAP2000, more details can be found at https://wiki.csiamerica.com/display/sap2000/Dome+structures

MATLAB or FORTRAN will be the best tool you can use.

MATLAB is more fancy, however, FORTRAN is obviously going to be faster!

You can use LUSAS. There is the Wood-Armer reinforcement facilities in LUSAS to optimise slab thicknesses and the calculation of reinforcement quantities.

The best solution is using STAADPRO.

Go to :

1- Open STAAD Structural Wizard

2- Select Surface/Plate Model tap

3- Input dome geometry, then export to STAAD sheet.

Hope this helps

for structural design SAP 2000 is very good program easy for use and data

I would like to recommend you Graitec Advance Concrete Design software in case you are dealing with concrete domes. There is reinforcement modeling and detailing for all situations included in this software. 

Hi

Please see: www.bentley.com/en-US/Products/STAAD.Pro/

STAAD.Pro is very good software structural design but for shells or dome SAP2000. VERY. 18

Ia best and ester

And you can make an shape drawing by ACAD then inot it's to Sap2000 from ACAD

I tried more onexpensive software program, and I tested other but I found the sap 2000 is effective, efficient and easily than anther for shells structureso.

Agree with Mohammad Al Kader Al Zuhaili ....

SAP-2000, the best
