Hello all,

I am running a transient melting/solification simulation, and I want to define the total melting time as an output parameter. For this I tried two different solutions, but none of them is working fo me.

1/ The first one is to define a stop criterion to interrupt the solution once the liquid fraction reaches the value of 1, and the total melting time would be the flowing time. For this one I tried the following scheme command in the execute command:

(if (< 0.1 (pick-a-real "/rep/area/average 2 , liquid-fraction n")) (cx-interrupt)

When I run the simulation I get this error "Error: eof inside list / Error Object: ()"

2/ The second solution I tried is defining an expression with the IF statement as follows :
IF(AreaAve(LiquidFraction,['interior-pcm'])==1,{flow-time},1[s])
The problem with the IF statement is that it is necessary to define a value when the condition is not satisfied, while in my case I only want it to take the value of the flow time, otherwise I want it to keep its initial value.

I hope it was clear and not too long, and I really appreciate if anyone can help me in any of those methods.

Many thanks,
Seldon
