Hi Guys,

I am trying to simulate a self assembly process where I have two frames of Nickel joined together by a solder hinge. When this solder melts, due to surface tension forces, the Ni arms lift up. How do I start with this and if anyone has a similar model, could you please share it with me. I would like to know what physicas to use and whether simulationg in 3D will be easy or tough?
