Mike, I used R for exactly that purpose, to test a new method for sampling coarse woody debris in silico against existing alternatives. The results are published in: Bebber, D.P. & Thomas, S.C., 2003. Prism sweeps for coarse woody debris. Canadian Journal of Forest Research 33, 1737–1743. I will put a reprint in the post, and will forward the R code in a separate message. Please cite the article and acknowledge the original code in any publications.
