Channel Properties dialog

Set the default type and size for the cooling channels.

To access this dialog, click Cooling Channel Properties (Geometry tab > Properties panel > Defaults > Cooling Channel Properties).

Changing the properties in the Channel properties dialog will also set the default properties for the cooling channel. The new properties will only affect newly-created channels and channels that have been manually selected. Existing channels that have not been selected will not inherit the new properties.

Tip: Selecting one or more cooling circuit segments before accessing this dialog allows you to apply property changes to multiple channels.
Note: If you select Bubbler, you will need to enter both the Outer diameter and Inner diameter values.
