I am trying to simulate the junction temps of some critical ICs in our new camera. I do not have the electronics cooling module. From some reading that I have done, it does not appear that I "need" to have it for what I am doing. However, it is not clear how I am supposed to setup the problem. For instance, how do I apply the thermal resistances of the two bodies in the model (junction to case and junction to board) and then how to and where do I apply the heat source. I am assuming that with the thermal resistances that I do not have to apply a "material" to the solid bodies. Currently, I just set the ICs to "gold" as it say in the Flow Simulation tutorial and then add a volume heat source to the IC and let it run. I question the use of gold as a material for this application but I don't know what other material (custom or close approximation) to use for this method.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
