We investigate the young stellar cluster population of M51 and how it is affected by encounters with giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We combine a galactic model with N-body simulations of 5000 unique clusters in the mass range [600-24000] M⊙. We simulate each cluster twice: with (CR) and without (CN) tidal perturbations from the GMCs. We are able to reproduce the majority of the observed mass- and
