Hello Caleb,

If it is a conceptual run, then I would simply model 1 leg of the piles with its FSI with water. Then evaluate if the FSI is active and makes sense.

From this you will be able to extrapolate for the amount of resource you will need for whichever modeling approach or design you will choose. 

You will also learn what resolutions are needed and how to construct the rest of the FSI mechanisms, etc. 

Regards,
