Does anyone know of the best way to model adhesives using patran?
 
it depends on the application.
if it's a composite, you enter it as a layer with the shear strength known for the adhesion of the materials, and thats basically it.
most loads the adhesive takes are shear, from uneven strain of the connected elements.
