Hey folks,

I am trying to simulate a moving laser heat source which is supposed to melt a metallic powder. My geometry looks like this:

I successfully simulated the moving laser source which is just a single line trough the middle of the geometry and the result looks as followed:

https://gyazo.com/5971e6e38619e59dc188ab37e05e8156

Now since I want to simulate the melting track of the powder, I need to melt. I have two different materials for solid and liquid, a heat transfer in solids with a material phase change from solid to liquid, a laminar flow and a non-isothermal flow as multiphysics. Am I missing some physic models?

Any help would be much appreciated
