Laser Sintering of nanoparticles

Hello all:
I am a research student at the University of Texas at Austin and I have a particular problem I am having trouble finsing the resources for.
The problem: Model the laser sintering of nanoparticles in a particle bed.
Currently I am trying to model one particle and then build up to multiple until I reach the level of being able to model the entire bed.
I am having trouble coupling the heat transfer with the material deformation. I would like to actually model the melting because when I go to model multiple particles, I would like to model how they sinter together so we can predict the actual process.
I am having a hard time finding the resources I need. I will continue to research and do as many examples I can, but any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
If I have not clearly stated the problem I can provide models and/or elaborate.
I am using COMSOL multiphysics version 5.2
Also, any help with knowing which modules I would need to do this would also be nice. I can get the university to give me access if I know which ones.
Thank You Nathan UT 2018 Mechanical Engineering

I actually have a very similar issue to this and would also like to know how people are handling this.
