Default Model Update during the Simulation

HobbsTunaSandwich is on a distinguished road
Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to simulate the accumulation of self-heating debris into debris heap inside a coolant fluid plenum by natural convection/turbulence.

The Problem:

Ideally the form of the debris heap should be updated with the number of accumulated debris particles every few iterations or so. Particles are counted with Boundary Sampling, so that should work but is there any way to adjust the size of debris heap region automatically? Presumably I would have to read out the number of particles crossing the boundary, integrate, then adjust the size/form of the region accordingly. Originally I set the up the porous media region (for the debris heap) with the 3D-CAD GUI, is there any way to automatize this?

Thank you for your time and help
