I have two database named: olddatabase and newdatabase. I want to create a new database named newdatabase2 then copy database structure from newdatabase to newdatabase2 and then convert data from olddatabase to newdatabase2.
To copy database structure from newdatabase to newdatabase2 I use Transfer SQL Server Object
Task component in SSIS, and then execute SSIS Package to convert data. But in step 1 I dont now how to create new database named newdatabase2. Currently I create the database manually.

There is a "Transfer Database Task". You can use it to make a copy of newdatabase to newdatabase2:
EDIT:
or you can use the "Copy Database Wizard" once. It will generate an SSIS package and a SQL Server job, then you can re-use it as many times as you want.
EDIT2:
it would't make much sense to open on BIDS because you will only see something like this:
I don't think these packages are meant to be editable. You can access it, though:
