Creation of geodesic spheres with Solidworks

Out of category

Hi all

 

I'm a little new to SolidWorks and I'd like to make a rather special part, a geodesic sphere under SW.

I've already made one by assembling pentagons/hexagons, but the problem is that I would like to have only hexagons, even if it means that they are a little distorted.

 

Here's an image of what I've already done, with pentagons (which I'd like to delete)

 

 

Is there a way to build it in Solidworks? To triangularize a sphere with only hexagons and then put a "unitary" pattern on each triangle to then deform them?

 

Thank you all!
