      Hello, there are actually a lot of papers out there that explained how this is done so do some quick searches.    I've used a series of discrete elements (mat_nonlinear_elastic_discrete_beam) in one of my project with the author of this dissertation:  https://biomed.drexel.edu/implantcenter/CV-Dissertations-Thesis/steven-rundell-dissertation.pdf

      hope this helps you and Steve is Awesome!
