Different file formats will import different cooling attributes.
Adding cooling components
If you want to add cooling components to your model for a standard Cool analysis, use the
Add button () and select from the list of file types.
- When importing a cooling system from an *.adv file, you must first import the *.adv file, and then export it as a *.sdy or *.udm file. The cooling system will then be available for import.
- When importing a *.sdy file, the process will import only the cooling elements in the study file. These include all channels, hoses, baffles and bubblers.
- When importing a *.udm file, the process will import only the cooling elements in the .udm file. These include all channels, hoses, baffles and bubblers.
- When importing an *.igs or *.iges file, the process will import each segment of the cooling system as a centre or 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.
