      You should be able to create an isosurface of volume fraction (or similar) and then report on that.

        Thank you for your feedback

        My problem is 2D.Is it possible to create isosurface in this case.

        In fact i want to plot the position of the solid-liquid interface with time.

        I'm working on a melting/solidification problem.

        thank you so much for your assistance sir.

      Yes, you'll get a line. Plotting x v y on the line or x v custom function in a Plot will give you the position.

        The problem is that the isosurface icone is hided in fluent i think because i'm working on 2D.

      No, it's still there. Have you initialised the solution?
