Hi dears

I have problem with connections. Overlapping contact region found and i don't know why?!!

[Karthik R]

Hello,

Please take a look at your geometry and make sure that there are no overlapping volumes there.

Also, could you please perform 'Share Topology' on your geometry in SpaceClaim? 

Thanks.

Dear Karthik

How can i prepare an heat-sink? I need a muscular method.

Hello,

I'd suggest that you draw the heat sink pretty much from scratch. Here are some very high-level steps.

• Create a rectangle and extrude it so you get a cuboid.


• Enter the 2D sketch mode and draw the cross-section of a fin on one of the side faces of the cuboid. 


• Extrude this 2D fin in the third direction and you would have your 3D fin.


• Repeat this process to generate the other fin structures. 

Again, these are very high level instructions. If you were to search on YouTube, you should be able to find a video on how to create the geometry (may be nor the exact steps, but it should give you a good place to get started). 

Here is a how-to video on a similar application. Again, this might not answer your exact question. But, you should be able to use the learnings from this video and employ it to your modeling needs. 

I hope this helps.

Best,

Karthik
