algorithmic modeling for Rhino

I'm trying to simulate the inflation of a soft robot.

I'm pretty inexperienced with kangaroo so I've been trying to edit some examples on inflation like the 'inflate cushion' script in the attachments.

The tricky part is that a soft robot is made up of 2 types of silicone with different stiffness so the bottom part of the actuator doesn't inflate as much as the top. How do I approach these 2 different kind of stiffness in a script so that the mesh doesn't inflate like a balloon?
