My project involves determining the deformation of a droplet due to
surface tension, external boundaries, and gravity. Could one predict
the sintered shape of some 3D printed object with surface evolver?
Probably, but not easily I think.
Cube evolving into a sphere
Mound with gravity
Catenoid liquid between two plates
Torus partitioned into two cells
Ring around rotating rod stability
Column of liquid solder deformation
Rocket fuel tank: Surface energy, Volume, Gravity, Running
Spherical tank: Surface energy, Volume, Gravity, Running
Crystalline integrand

Hi David - is the goal here to put together something for 3D printing?
