The methods for modeling a structure of a spider web using computer programming are disclosed. First method of modeling elliptical spider webs using computer programming includes inputting variables into computer program to model spider webs; number of radii, number of spirals, length of major and minor axes of hub, length of major and minor axes of outermost ellipse, and slope of major axis. It includes calculating the functions of each radius and ellipse based on the variables. It proceeds to calculating the intersections of each radius and ellipse by using the radial and ellipse functions. It ends in modeling spider webs by connecting the intersections of each radius to draw radii and by connecting the intersections of each elliptical spiral to draw spirals, based on the intersections. The other method of modeling spiral spider webs has similar process with the notable differences in input variables, in its use of spiral functions (parametric equations), etc.
