Hey everyone I had some fun with thermal simulations in Fusion 360 the other day and wanted to share this example! It's a pretty practical application of running a quick thermal simulation for relative comparison purposes. That is to say, I don't expect this simulation to be absolutely correct because of the assumptions made during the analysis process, but I expect the relative results between different simulations with a similar setup to contain meaningful data that I can use. In this example it's specifically the expected temperature drop with a heat sink.
Here's the first video exploring the problem, analyses and possible options for resolution:
And here's the second video where we actually do some testing!
If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
