Hi everyone, I am performing the SLM simulation using Fluent. But now I am facing the difficult to visualize the melt region which is shown in the figure. Does anyone have idea to visualize it. Much appreciated, thank you.

Contours of solid/liquid fraction tend be a good start. You may need to clip against the "liquid" phase though.

Thank you for your answer. 

I have used contours of liquid fraction and clip. But, the result is shown only the certain time step. What I would like to do is to show the liquid fraction for whole process time. So do you have any suggestions? Many thanks!!!

Ah, you need to take the image every few time steps during the run, or save data and do it afterwards. CFD data files tend to be snap shots of the single timestep and not the full history as in Mechanical.
