This is perfect. Gave me all the info I needed to get started. Thanks a ton!

thanks for you post!!!! Really got me started right

Great job!

Hi, great vid. I am building a boundary fence at home and wanted to look at various paling layouts to see how this impacts the fences ability to shelter the garden from the prevailing wind. Theoretically a solid fence with no gaps creates more turbulence behind it whereas one with gaps has less. Would my study be external or internal? Could I set it up exactly like yours with a section of fence with various configurations? I want to do a basic study first so that I can see the reduction of wind velocity and patterns of turbulance in the yard but also downstream of the fence see if the wind will flow over or through the garden beds. The other complication is that there is another fence on the opposite boundary which I suppose I should include in a later sim to see how this effects the wind that passes through/over the first fence. I also want to see what gap size is the best to give me the best windbreak with the minimum of turbulence and I think I can use SW to test various gaps and give me the best answer. Similarly there may be an advantage of horizontal palings vs vertical ones and in the first instance smaller gaps at the bottom increasing to the top of the fence. Of course privacy is another consideration and is ultimately a trade off vs the efficiency of a the windbreak. Any advice on how to set up this analysis? Thanks

Is it possible to simulate the cooling time? For example, I would like to find the time it takes for an aluminum pipe at 70 degrees to become 50 degrees. There is natural convection and the atmospheric temperature is 20 degrees.

Why not simply placing the fan near that heat sink? why didn't the architecture of the component wasn't built to allow a proper placement of the heat sink in that case, near the fan.

For the 2W part should the power be set to 4W if you pick both both 2W parts?

Any way of download for that electronic thing? Thanks a lot

Could you point me in the right direction on how to make/setup lids?

[@kuljeetsingh1596]

i used an internal fan in external study and my results did not converge and were continuously increasing.....is there any such problem with fan study

I need your help, How about to setup "Calculation Control Option" including Finishing, Refinement, Solving, Saving ??

Where can i get this geometry from?

What did you do to add an image on to the surface of the PCB?

[@rodrigochiozzini]

ok

[@sidewips9277]

How did you found the Transformateurs Material please ? Thanks

[@rahalmehdiabdelaziz8121]

but how to practice following this tutorial !!!

Hello Sir, how did you import the PCB with the components inside solidworks progrm?, and is it possible to simulate the heat transfer for a PCB with 4 layers of copper wusing this program? (I use Altium PCB design, and I would like to simulate the heat transfer)

[@arunkumarchellappa4549]

Initial steps of PCB how sir

Thx, your vidéo help me so much for my final test (Baccalauréat in french). I can not resist to ask you for additional help. Contact me if you agree to help me :)
