Summary0002813: fvOption/solidificationMelting does not write phase fraction result file <name>:alpha1 on ntfs filesystem (MS Windows)
DescriptionI tryed to run a case about phase change with blueCFD-Core 2017 on Windows64 7;
all seems to work fine but during postprocessing with ParaView it does not appear the phase fraction results (<name>:alpha1) in the list.
I think that it is due to the ":" character that it is not suitable for file name definition on ntfs filesystem.
Probably it is possible to resolve the compatibility issue changing the result file name definition in the souce file OpenFOAM-5.x/doc/src/fvOptions/sources/derived/solidificationMeltingSource/solidificationMeltingSource.C at line 207:
            name_ + ":alpha1",
TagsNo tags attached.

We use the ":" scoping character for many file names for consistency with the internal representation and naming. I am surprised that the file system you are using disallowes the ":" character in file names and would recommend that you upgrade your system to use a modern file system.
