The article presents an approach to calculate the uniform deformation of lattice shells obtained from geodesic winding two systems of left and right wires around a spiral rib at different angles. The approach is based on solving a system of two differential equations with specific initial conditions using numerical method. As illustrative examples, we apply the approach to calculate the uniform deformation of lattice shells asymmetrically wound with different values of dimensionless parameters.
