Standard results in electronics cooling
The results generated in an electronics cooling simulation enable you to determine whether your design is viable, or whether it is likely to overheat and fail. The results tell you the temperature that the various components are likely to reach, and how heat sinks and fans that you model might impact these temperatures. Standard results are presented as individual Results and as Combined Results.
- The Results folder hosts results that focus on a specific aspect of the analysis, such as component temperature, or air temperature
- The Combined Results folder presents result overlays so you can see how the air temperature and component temperature, for example, might affect one another. Use these results in conjunction with the individual results, to understand the interaction better.
