Dear Habib,
one option is shown in the following example model:
www.comsol.de/model/tin-melting-front-6234
Another option can be to define the material parameters temperature dependent with a (continuous) jump at the melting point and then solve for convection/flow even when the material is solid in reality. In your model it could just have a very high viscosity so it is approximately solid and shows no movement. Keep in mind a volume heat source/sink to consider latent heat might be necessary.
Check also for conference paper about this topic:

Erik,
Thanks for comments. I have read the tin-melt front, but It is a little bit different with my case. I want to eliminate the elements of my geometry physically ( i.e: to show formation of the hole). It is kinda complicated but I think is doable.
Thanks,

Hi,
I've been working on the same simulation as yours lately. Do you have any progress? Are you able to trace the interfaces between liquid-solid and vapor-liquid phases?
Would you please email me at ZCLOVEMIT@163.com if you have some ideas?
Cheers,

Hi Chi,
Unfortunately i have not had any progress yet. But, I am going to start working on that problem again. do you have any idea how to tackle the issue :)? I will keep you posted as soon as I get any promising results
Good luck

Hi,
are you aware of the papers available from the following link?
www.comsol.de/papers-presentations?q=laser,melt
There also some dealing with hole formation. I guess it is worth to investigate how they did it. The one from Mr. Bachmann won the best paper award at the COMSOL conferences in Milan 2012.

Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Erik
