Simulating coastal strcutures
Hi All,
I am new to DualsPhysics and am trying to simulate a numerical flume using a sea wall and mangroves. When the simulation is running it treats the mangrove model (imported from online) as a single object and does not interact with the individual parts as it would in a real situation.
How would I make it such that the mangrove has interparticle movement and interacts with the waves more realistically?

You should read first our documentation: https://github.com/DualSPHysics/DualSPHysics/wiki
And you have to check our examples

Hi Alex,
Yes I've read the documentation and have created a numerical flume based of the CaseWavemaker_2D.
My specific problem is to allow water to permeate the leaves of the mangrove and to simulate a more realistic resistance to the wave energy rather than treating it as if it is one solid object.
Hope that helps.
Do you want to treat the mangrove as individual objects?
Yes, essentially I'd like to be able to have water pass through the mangrove roots, but i think it may be due to the inter particle distance that may be preventing it from happening now that I've taken a better look at it.
