Ways to simulate dirt digging in Gazebo?

edit

Is there a way to simulate digging into dirt from a robot arm that can scoop into the ground? Any part of the group terrain (for simplicity) could be dug through and the contents would need to remain in the arm scoop until they were dropped off.

If there is not already a way to do this, does anyone know of a similar effort that I can gain insight from?

Thanks!
