Flow of particles into box

Hello,

I am working on a model of a sandpile to replicate an experimental set up. I initially created a model where there was mass inflow into a 3D box, and then a pile built up within the box.

I now want to add a way of controlling the input to the box, so I have tried to add a hopper into the geometry, so the outflow of particles from the hopper will land into the box and generate the sand pile over time.

I have created the geometry I want in mfix, but do I have to link the two parts in some way in order to get this to work or would I have to create a more complex geometry of object to start with?
