Another thing to keep in mind, when you are picking fans or heat sources, if you say 2 watts and click three transistors, it spreads 2 watts across all of them, via surface or volume generation. so if they are 2 watts each, make a separate condition for each, or do 2 watts x (quantity). This is true with fans as well, do not make a fan boundary condition and click on multiple items, its safest to make one condition for each part. Also the fan source you click should have similar geometry to the actual fan the data is coming from. tough lessons i learned.
You are the most intelligent engineer i have ever seen :) keep up the vids free, i am beginning to learn cnc so that i can use it with my hobby cnc router
GoEngineer, Can you please make a new video about the Electronics Cooling Module within Solidworks Flow Simulation. Please provide some guidance about common rules of thumb or assumptions that can be made especially focusing on how to interpret datasheets into the proper format needed for the simulation. I would like to see some more examples of the Two-Resistor Component, Thermal resistance, Thermal Joint, Printed Circuit Board tools. Please highlight and give advice on common problems design engineers have when determining the best values to use. please talk about how radiation seems to have a big effect of the results. My application is to advise PCB layout engineers about where to place the significant heat generating components and how to best design/select heat spreaders, heat sinks, and baseplates to manage the heat and ensure that the junction temperature do not exceed there max temperature limits. Thanks!
Is it possible to simulate the cooling time? For example, I would like to find the time it takes for an aluminum pipe at 70 degrees to become 50 degrees. There is natural convection and the atmospheric temperature is 20 degrees.

Thank for your uploading and knowledge sharing
Good video, never saw this when i was purposely searching.

Could you please tell from where did you get the CAD model for the CPU, or did you design it on your own?
Really help Full
We're happy this was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Can you note the differences, if any, between SOLIDWORKS flow simulation against dedicated FEA software say ANSYS FLUENT?
Are they up to par?
How can i make this electronic assembly?
