I have designed a cylindrical spatial truss roof, 200mx60m using sap2000. However as this design process is new to me , i am unsure what type of connections all the internal connections are. Any help with this would be appreciated. I am unable to find this out through research.

I would think determining the type of connections would be a part of the design work?

If this is a real project, talk to other experienced engineers on the project, visit with prospective fabricators and erectors for their input.

If it's homework, assume all the shop connections are welded, all the field connections are bolted. Type of connections would be based largely on economics, and could vary from place to place, from time to time, from erector to erector.
