Simulating a break in crystal symmetry across a phase transition through Tc

Hi all,
I am trying to simulate a ferroelastic sample as it is heated beyond its critical temperature (Tc) and back. In the Heat Transfer in Solids module and under the Phase Change Material option, I have set out a basic phase transition and assigned characteristics of the material for below and above Tc, but I am struggling to simulate the symmetry elements across Tc.
Would anyone be able to guide me or point to some literature in regards to inputting crystallographic data into the sample such as lattice parameters, so that I would be able to simulate ferroelastic domains?
Many Thanks,
John
