creating geodesic sphere

creating geodesic sphere

creating geodesic sphere

(OP)

I wish to create geodesic sphere in SolidEdge 20.  See attached links.  Must be made up facets of equilateral triangles.

I managed to make up icosohedron which has 20 facets, I think, but I need more to make the solid more sphere like. At least 50.

Can any body help?

Thanks in advance
