From the E-Cooling section of the action bar,
click Heat Sink
 .
- Optional:
Enter a descriptive
Name.
-
From the 3D area, select a
heat sink component as the support.
-
From the Specifications options, select one of the
following:
| Option | Description |
|---|
| Specifications |
Applies the specifications that you defined for the selected heat sink component
in Fluid Model Creation. |
| Manual |
Applies the specifications that you define for the selected heat sink component
in Fluid Scenario Creation. |
-
Enter values for the D viscous resistance in the x-, y-, and
z-directions.
Specifying the viscous resistance in the component directions is a method used to
describe the geometry of the heat sink. For example, a high viscous resistance in the
direction of the flow could indicate that heat sink's fins are oriented perpendicular to
the flow or that the heat sink has many fins.
-
Enter a value for the K conductivity in the x-, y-, and
z-directions.
The heat sink's fins create an anisotropic thermal conductivity in the regions between
the fins. Typically, the direction with the least viscous resistance has the highest
thermal conductivity.
