Masonry Simulation

Hi Everyone.

At the moment I am researching on stone and how digital design, simulation and fabrication could enhance the potential of stone. At the moment I am looking into compression only structures. There seam to be alot of plugins which are focused on form finding and analysis of compression only structure as a whole.

I am having problems finding how I can simulate a dry wall masonry construction. ie. Simulating individual stone acting as solid shapes together.

Below is a video I found on you tube which shows a very similar scenario of what i would like to do. Any suggestions on how I can start with such a problem?

Thanks
