Apply the Convection Load to the Rest of the Model

Since all of the convection loads have the same parameters, we will copy the convection load that was just created onto the other surfaces.

  1. With the  Selection Shape Point or Rectangle and  Selection Select Surfaces commands active, click the golden C's that represent the convection load on the board. They become highlighted magenta.
  2. Click  Tools Clipboard Copy.
  3. Right-click the Part 1 heading in the browser (tree view) and deactivate Visibility. The board is hidden.
  4. Click the Front face of the ViewCube to view a side profile of the chip and edge connectors.
  5. Press Ctrl-A to select all visible surfaces of the model.
    • Hold down the Ctrl key, click, and drag to draw a rectangle enclosing only the bottom edge of the chip and slots, as shown below. This removes the bottom surfaces from the selection set. These surfaces are in contact with the board and are not subjected to the convection load.

  6. Click  Tools Clipboard Paste to paste the convection load onto the selected surfaces.
  7. Right-click the Part 1 heading in the browser and activate Visibility.
