Presentations
1. Heat Sink Modeling by Ahmed Elghandour
Ahmed Elghandour, an application engineer at Ozen Engineering, discusses heat sink modeling using various ANSYS tools:
- ANSYS CFD Fluent: Import geometry, create mesh, define thermal properties, and use mosaic mesh for high solution accuracy.
- ANSYS Icepak: Popular in electronics cooling with built-in components and a library of commercial heat sinks.
- Discovery Live: Fast tool using GPUs for quick results, ideal for designers exploring new designs.
- ANSYS Mechanical: Includes both steady-state and transient thermal analysis with integrated post-processing.
2. 3D Printing for Heat Exchangers by Brian Newbright
Brian Newbright from 3D Systems discusses optimizing heat sinks for additive manufacturing:
- Importance of return on investment and cost considerations.
- Designing for additive manufacturing with a focus on self-supporting surfaces and maximizing surface area to volume ratio.
- Use of lattice structures and triply periodic surfaces for improved heat exchange.

Thank you for attending the webinar. The recording will be available on the Ozen Engineering website in a few days.
Hi everybody, thanks for joining our webinar today. I'll be starting up in one minute from now. All right. Okay, I'll get going now. Good morning, everybody. Thanks for joining us today for our weekly webinar. This is Chris Cowan from Ozen Engineering.
I have joining me Ahmed Elghandour from Ozen Engineering, Brian Newbright from 3D Systems, and Eric Young from 3D Systems. Today we'll be talking about heat sink thermal analysis and 3D printing. I'll take a moment to introduce our companies. Again, I'm Chris Cowan with Ozen Engineering.
We're a company focused on simulation. We use finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics to solve multidisciplinary, multi-physics problems. We're proud to have been selected as the ANSYS Channel Partner of the Year for the Americas regions, North and South America.
We're an ANSYS Elite Channel Partner, which means we sell ANSYS software, provide technical support for our customers, and offer engineering consulting services. If you have a project you're interested in getting solved, please contact us.
We work with physics, fluids, structures, electronics, multi-physics, coupled multi-physics, and optics. We also offer cloud services and collaborative design tools for using virtual reality. You can find our webinar schedule today on May 23rd. We're talking about heat sink thermal simulations.
Upcoming webinars are listed in the left column, and you can register on our website at ozink.com/training. You can also register on the ANSYS homepage under the events section. If you're interested, you can subscribe to our newsletter for announcements about these webinars.
Recently completed webinars are available on our website. Go to ozink.com, find the resources tab, and click on the webinar library. You can watch these videos if you have any questions or want to discuss any of these topics in more depth.
You can email info@ozink.com, call us at 408 732 4665, or find us on our website. We're doing a lot of work on future desktop solutions, where you can submit solve to the cloud and return results.
It's fully integrated with ANSYS, and if you're interested in more information, please call us to talk about that. Our first presenter is Ahmed Elghandour from Ozen Engineering.
He has a BS from Cairo University in Mechanical Engineering, a master's in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the same for his PhD.
Ahmed is likely to speak with our customers if they call for technical support, especially for structural-thermal dynamic type analyses. Our second presenter is Brian Newbright from 3D Systems. He's in San Diego and is a Senior Application Engineer with 10 years of experience.
Brian will talk about 3D Systems' broad portfolio of manufacturing and end-to-end solutions, including 3D printers, software, and materials options. Eric Young from 3D Systems will give an overview of 3D Systems.
They have a range of 3D printers, from consumer products to mid-range and high-end machines for plastic, wax, and metal. They offer the broadest portfolio of edit manufacturing solutions, incorporating software from 3D printing, manufacturing, and scanning.
They also have the broadest range of materials options for various applications and solutions for manufacturing. 3D Systems offers metal solutions, from flexible small prototyping machines to production factory modules for high-volume production.
They have a wide range of certifications for high-velocity trial production sites, mass production, and aerospace applications. On June 19th, they're offering a tour of their 3D Systems Facility. Anyone is welcome to join. Please speak with us after for contact info and the address.
Now, I'll turn it over to Ahmed.
