SPH model describing the "single impact throry" for the Moon

I was planning on, as a computer science project, simulating the
collapse of a turbulent gass cloud and the formation of starts, but I
have come to beleive the model is too complex and astronomy bound for
me right now.

I would like to hear some things on the required complexity of a SPH
model of the creation of the moon from an impack into proto earth
which threw out debris into orbit. From my, non expert, point of view
it seems that this can be tested quite easily, but... what are the
features that the model should exhibit when testing it?

Am I being overly optimistic when thinking about this problem as two
objects, consisting of a number of particles of different type
(different materials) colliding and then this is just a n-body problem
which does or does not over time lump back into two new objects, one
orbiting the other? Which parameters should be included and how do I
validate the results afterwards?
