Quick start tutorial: How to design a liquid cooled heat sink

Introduction

This tutorial gives you an overview of all the steps required to set up and run a custom design case in ColdStream.

1. As a first step, you need to create a new case in your project folder. For more information about which case type suits your needs best, please follow this link.
2. Once this new case has been created, ColdStream will ask you to upload a STEP file file. If you are unsure about how to prepare these files or how to upload them, follow these links.
3. Next, you can assign all the desired properties:
   1. material properties
   2. boundary conditions
   3. special physics if desired
   4. targets (if a design case was selected)
4. When all input has been provided, you can submit the case.
