How to simulate the deformation of a melted metal sphere in Comsol?

10 April 2021 1 1K Report

I am trying to simulate the deformation of a tiny (350micro) melted metal sphere by pressing it from two sides by flat plates. Which physics should I use? Could you give me some advice? What I want to simulate - is changing of the sphere's geometry.

Thank you in advance

As it is a contact problem, use solid mechanics module with all the materials defined as "form assembly" in geometry. The material properties can be defined under linear and nonlinear models and pressing force can be applied to the plate.
