The numerical model of an asteroid, which shape is assumed to be a triaxial ellipsoid, is applied to real asteroids. Eleven asteroids (15, 20, 22, 23, 28, 31, 41, 43, 130, 354, and 532) are selected with reliably determined pole coordinates and axes ratios of the approximating ellipsoid, which may be used as test objects for the evaluation of new methods of asteroid pole coordinate determination. On the other hand, the shapes of asteroids 2, 3, 7, 29, 39, 44, 87, 216, 349, and 624 do not fit the triaxial ellipsoids with the available axes ratios. Their pole coordinates need to be redefined by the methods free from the asteroid shape influence.
