The first page is an informational section that gives the user an overview of the tool1.) Is physical geometry of the fin area the user wants to evaluate.2.) Is the Boundary Conditions section where the user inputs the BCs3.) Is the Material selection section of the tool, where fluid type and fin material is defined.4.) Is a where a quick internal check is done before the simulation is submitted for solving.5.) Is where Simulation results are posted.

If the Simulation has incomplete inputs or inputs outside the tool’s abilities a Red X will appear in the section where there is an issue.
If the Simulation has complete inputs then all sections show a Green Check and the user can move foreword to simulate.

While the simulation is running a status bar will be shown. If there is no HPC instance available a warning will show and the page will update once an instance is available for use.

Max Temperature of Coldplate skin in fin area
Havg is an excellent input for use in a customer’s own CFD analysis. This is the average heat transfer coefficient in the fin area
