We propose a numerical method for dealing with interactions between multiple particles and complex structures. In the method, the structures are represented on a grid by using the level set method. The interactions of particles and structures are calculated by a method based on the discrete element method. The method can treat the interaction between multiparticle and complex structures robustly.
