Animated Bending

I have a simple part of thin plastic with groves cut inthem. I was hoping to be able to model it to help determinegrovewidth to achieve proper bending.  The plastic sincethinenough, will bend until the groves hit on another.  Ihaveattached a picture of the current simple drawing.  

How would I be able to bend until interference occursbetweenportions.   Any suggestions are appreciated. 

Thanks
