OnScale can be used to the simulate thermal behaviour, and how this behaviour effects the model/device. A heat-sink is a thermal conductive metal device designed to adsorb and disperse heat away from high temperature objects in a system. As a heat sink base temperature increases so to does the thermal resistance of the sink. This results in a higher base temperature of the heat sink
Model Description
Simple model of a heat-sink generated from CAD, showing how to apply a heat source to your model.
Runtime Graphics During Simulation
This model can be used as a starting point for anyone looking to do thermal analysis simulations. It shows how to set up a heat source and how to set boundary conditions as well as the models baseline temperature.
Typical Outputs from Thermal Analysis
- Temperature rise
- Displacement
- Thermal stress
