Importing a cooling system

  1. Click Import Channels (Geometry tab > Cooling System panel > Import Channels).
  2. In the Import Cooling System dialog, click Browse.
  3. Locate the file you want to import as a cooling system, and then click Open.
  4. Click OK to import the cooling system.
Note: Different file formats will import different cooling attributes.
  • If you choose to import a *.sdy file, the process will import only the cooling elements in the study file. These include all channels, hoses, baffles and bubblers.
  • If you choose to import an *.udm file, the process will import only the cooling elements in the .udm file. These include all channels, hoses, baffles and bubblers.
  • If you choose to import an *.igs or *.iges file, the process will import each segment of the cooling system as a centre (axis) line, and apply default cooling channel dimensions. Baffles and bubblers are converted into cooling channels, and these elements will need to either be defined or added manually, after import.
