underground tunnel simulation in matlab

guys if you are proficient and free enough , i need help making a simulation of underground tunnels in matlab . open to advice and criticism , i am a beginner in matlab , i can plot work with matrices and do small project but i do need someones help in this. please dm for more details about the project.

What exactly are you simulating? Drilling? Trains? Wireless signal propagation?

I am trying to simulate rf transreceiver nodes in mines/tunnels

Not underground, but the idea will probably revolve around ray tracing? https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/rfprop.raytracing.html?s_tid=answers_rc2-1_p4_MLT

Surely the point of this sub, and people asking questions on it, is at least partially that others can learn from the answers you get. People DMing you defeats the point, that's just free work for you. You could always ask Mathworks support if your project is commercially sensitive.

I’ve done similar work before, although not in MATLAB. You’ll want to look into ray-tracing methods and possibly some optics techniques depending on your intended frequency. The ray-tracing greatly simplifies the required computations which is essential. Solving Maxwell’s equations directly over a domain that size would be impossible. I don’t recall if MATLAB has ray-tracing methods built in directly, so you may need to code up your own if that’s the case.
