tgomm is on a distinguished road
I'm pretty new to Flow-3D and I'm trying to figure out a way to model the melting of a solid object.

As an example, I'd like to simulate a solid paraffin block on an angled hot plate, and model the block melting with the fluid running off.

It seems like Flow-3D only allows you to apply Solids material properties to components, not Fluids properties (which have all the phase change material properties).

Any suggestions on how to model this?

Thanks!
