The textile fibers and yarns are usually modeled as one dimensional continuum of beams or as a system of particles, connected by springs. The governing equation of motion of such systems has many solutions, which switch in between depending on the available energy of the system. Effective modeling of problems with bifurcations like these, applicable for more general geometries is rarely reported. In the present work we demonstrate, that using a system of particles and an appropriate change of variables, a successful time step integration either by the Leap-Frog or the Verlet algorithms is possible.
