FlightStream: How to model imperiable ground plane

Hello,

I'm using Flightstream for my PhD and was trying to model an unsteady simulation with the airframe in hover. But the propeller wake passes through the ground plane rather than bouncing off the ground plane. I'm not sure how to make the ground plane impermeable. Do you know how to fix this issue?

Thanks

    For this case you will need to model the ground plane as a solid body. Which means make a closed box to simulate the ground plane. Also, you will have to enable "Wall Collision Avoidance" in the initialization dialog.
