One of the possible approaches to the problem of data preprocessing for the 2D continuum mechanic problem calculations is presented in this paper. SKAT program allows constructing and editing geometrical objects, generating grids according to different methods and describing grid's data.
    The authors aimed to make data presentation process simple, visual and the most fault tolerant. The code has a modern interface typical of windows applications. The visual representation of geometrical data is available with any grain size. The loading operation does not require a strict sequence of operations. Earlier input data can be looked through and edited in graphic and dialog mode. The correctness of user's actions is being tested persistently and if it is necessary the hints and comments are given in the process. Close control over editing operations allows preventing errors completely.
