Nice model Enzo!

What I would maybe suggest is to use the Conjugate Heat Transfer analysis which can be used for electronic enclosures. A nice feature that you can use to make sure contacts are detected is the so called Imprint CAD preparation feature (assuming your surfaces touch).

Maybe two more tips:

  • Use a momentum source if you want to get rid of your fans, otherwise you should enclose the turning fan in a cylinder and use the so called MRF approach

  • Defeature your geometry as much as possible, the details of your casing is most likely not contribute very much to your internal heat transfer


Hope that helps - maybe the @cfd_squad wants to add their two cents here.
