Abstract: The article deals with computer modelling and structural analysis of a single tree. Terrestrial laser scanning was used
for the acquisition of a precise point model of the Ginkgo biloba tree. In the phase of graphical post-processing,
a registered and purged point cloud model was converted into a 3D-CAD model where all needed material
characteristics were assigned to the trunk and branches under consideration. Additionally, the final computational
model operating on the base of the Finite element Analysis (FEA) was completed. The final model of the tree was
evaluated in the FAE software, whereby selected elements of the trunks were exposed to external load and the
results of strength assessment were evaluated
Keywords: digital tree model, Finite Element Analysis, terrestrial laser scanning
