Hi there,
This is the first time I'm using heat simulations to improve a design so I am after some input on how it is best acheived.
I have an LED module which reaches a max temp of 75 degrees after 30 min, this sits onto the heatsink with some heatsink grease.
I'd like to do a study to find out wether tweaking the heatsink in some places can improve heat dissapation.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I am aware there is two types of studies steady and transient?
Which type of thermal load should I use?
Many thanks,
Charles
tutorials in the software should get you started
then flow simulation training from yoru var www.hawkridgesys.com if you're on the west coast or in canada or ok with online
we also have application specific training if you're interested
i'd say you start with a steady state analysis
thermal load, start with heat generated on the LED and then after that youcan go to adding radiation as appropriate
