Erosion protection boulders modelling

[dtsk]

Hi Guys,

How would you model boulders at slope toe placed for erosion protection in Slide software.

Can it be treated as a distributed load or should it be modeled as a material type? The boulders are sized at between 0.5m and 1.0m, about two to three layers thick at the slope toe.

They should be modeled as a material with appropriate strength and unit weight parameters.
