Computational modeling of braided stents using the finite element (FE) method has become an essential tool in the design and development of these medical devices. One of the most challenging issues in such a task is representing in an accurate manner the interaction between the interlacing wires. With the goal of achieving a compromise between accuracy and computational affordability, we propose a new approach consisting in using 1D FE formulations equipped with torsional springs at the crossover points of the wires. In the case of cov
