You don't necessarily need, or want, a program to do it.
The trick is to determine exactly which points in space you want to use.
If you can select a start and end point for each of your strands and
record their x,y and z, that gives you vectors you can apply some basic
vector geometry to, e.g. to calculate angles between them (based on
their dot product) and other things.
