Default tracking the solidification front

I'm having trouble obtaining a plot of the position of the solidification front at each time steph. The model is a simple 2-d transient solidification problem using the melting-solidification model. I need to plot the position of the solidification front, along a certain line (which i can easily specify as a "line-rake") against time.

Anyone familiar with such a task? Can i do it with in-built field functions or maybe with custom field functions? I'd rather not have to resort to user-defined-functions.

MV78 is on a distinguished road
Hi everyone,
I looked for an answer concerning a post-processing method to track the fusion/solidification front properly with Ansys. In the Stefan problem case, it just consists in probing a point for which the mass fraction of liquid is 0.5 Is there a way to plot more accurately and more rapidly the front position based on the mass fraction equal to 0.5 ?

Thank you in advance,
MV78
