Using Wave Paddle in Flexible Gate test case of Project Chrono
Hi everyone, I hope everything is well with you.
Actually, After a long time i decide to use new feature of DualSphysics.
I saw the Flexible Gate Test case in folder of project chrono, you use dam break flow for fluid simulation. i know its only a benchmark that have strong effect on the structure. but i want to know can i use wave paddle in the test case of flexible gate to solve interaction of elastic beam with wave?
i think it is possible😅 but i want to know in more details.

Note that we call it FLEXIBLE, but it is just a set of rigid parts connected with hinges...
The simulation of beams can be carried out with different approaches in DualSPHysics, but any of them are available online yet:

Dear @Alex , I know that, flexible in this case means set of rigid parts connected with hinges.
but i want to know that we can implement wave paddle in the XML file of "flexible gate" instead of dam break.
i need to simulate regular wave interaction with a single flexible beam and i know that this feature do not exist in the current version but i decide to simulate this beam with rigid parts connected with hinges. and my question is about possibility of the wave paddle implementation in this case with XML?
if i simulate <wavepaddle> ... </wavepaddle> in the XLM file of Flexible Beam, the code is running or not?
i read the paper of prof. rogers and its very good article, when this feature implement in the dualsphysics?
