Transcript
00:03
To prepare for running an electronics enclosure simulation in Autodesk CFD, you must specify the physical characteristics of the model.
00:12
This includes assigning materials to model parts, such as assigning a PCB material to two printed circuit boards.
00:20
To start, press CTRL and middle-click the Air part to hide it.
00:24
Left-click to select the two PCBs.
00:27
Then, on the ribbon, in the Setup tab, Materials panel, click Edit.
00:33
The Materials quick edit dialog opens, where you can select the material type.
00:38
For this example, under Property settings, click the Type value to expand the drop-down, and select Solid.
00:46
Next, expand the Name drop-down and select PCB 12-Layer(Y).
00:51
Click Apply.
00:53
To verify that the PCB material is properly assigned,
00:57
in the Design Study Bar, confirm the material assignment for the PCB 12-Layer(Y) parts.
01:03
Then, in the graphics window, ensure that the color of the two PCB parts now matches the PCB 12-Layer(Y) color in the legend.
01:12
With this material assigned, you are ready to move on to the next step of preparing your model for a CFD simulation.
