Heat Transfer through a Multi-Layer Stack

I'm very new COMSOL user and I am working on a project where I need to model a heat sealing process. This involves both thermal and mechanical deformation onto a multi-layer stack of materials. I am working in 2-D.
I am wondering how to go about beginning this process. I am thinking that there needs to be a contact interaction established between at least the 'heat seal press' and the topmost layer of the stack -- is that correct?
- Does there need to be contact established between all the layers?
- Is it possible to simulate the 'heat seal press' coming down onto the stack (simulating a heat seal process), ie a downward velocity with the heat seal press at a particular temperature?
- how do I make the bottom-most layer of the stack fixed (so that the whole stack does not move down from the pressure applied from the heat seal press)?
Any suggestions/tips? Any and all work be very much appreciated. Feel free to email me at mel.cantwell27@gmail.com
Thanks all,
Mel
