Modeling a curved graphene sheet

HI,

I'm trying to simlate the buckling behavior of a grpahene sheet using ANSYS APDL 14.5

In my analysis I need to have a graphene sheet that is curved with a variable radius for different cases. I was wondering if there is a faster way to model the graphene sheet assuming that the carbon-carbon bonds are modelled as elastic beam elements( beam 188) and the nodes are represnted by the carbon atoms.
