Running the Simulation

Follow these steps to run the simulation.

Before running the simulation, check your simulation setup:
  1. Right-click the Electronics node at the root of the object tree and select Summarize....
    The Output window displays the following information:
    • Total Power
    • Gravity Direction
    • Number of QuickParts
    • Number of Mesh Cells
    • Number of Iterations
    • QuickPart Type Count

    See Electronics Cooling Toolset Reference.

To run the simulation:
  1. Click (Run) in the Solution toolbar. See Toolbar Reference.
    A Residuals plot is created automatically and shows the progress of the solver. While the simulation is running, you can click the Electronics Cooling 1 tab at top of the Graphics window to visualize the solution.
After the run is finished, save the simulation:
  1. In the System toolbar, click (Save).
