In all seriousness, I've been trying to find a CAD program that does soft objects well—particularly when assembled in a way that deforms them. (In other words, I want something better than the flexible component system in Pro/E.)

One obvious application of that is FRC bumpers...ever tried using sheetmetal mode to simulate fabric draped over foam? Not so much fun. What about shelling a surface? No, that doesn't do folds nicely.
