I have simulated my case and now i need to analyze the liquid hold up in the packing area. How can i do so? Can someone please guide me?

Hello I'm not sure if I understand your question completely. Do you wish to estimate the volume of liquid in the domain?

Yes I need to estimate the liquid volume per volume of packing (domain).

Hello I'm assuming that this is a multiphase simulation. You could estimate the volume of the region where the volume fraction is either 0 or 1 (depending on which phase you select). You should be able to create an iso-clip based on a set criterion and then estimate the volume using the Volume Integrals solution. You can then divide by this obtained value with the total volume of the domain.

Depending on the model used you can also report the phase volume in the domain.

So you mean i need to calculate the volume of secondary phase (m3) (water in my case) in interior of the geometry and then divide it by the total volume (m3) of the domain ?

Yes, just use the volume integral for each volume you need to report on. Note, porous media doesn't occupy a real volume so use some caution.
