Abstract: In some implementations, there may be provide a method for modeling and simulation. The method may include generating a model of an object, wherein the model defines at least a surface of the object, wherein the surface comprises a plurality of patches generated based on a function (e.g., a spline, a T-spline, a non-uniform rational B-spline, and the like); presenting, at a user interface, the surface of the object in accordance with the model; inserting into the model of the object a bending strip between a first patch on the surface and a second patch on the surface; performing an analysis of the model including the bending strip, the first patch, and the second patch; and presenting, at the user interface, a three-dimensional representation of the object including a result of the analysis. Related system, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
