Heat exchange heat sink

Hi, I need help with analyzing heat exchange in a heat sink using HyperMesh. I'm not sure how to approach the analysis. I already define inlet, outlet, symmetry, and heat source, but when I do the analysis, I cannot get the analysis of the heat sink; instead, I just get information about the heat source. I use Surface mesh (2D auto mesh) to define faces and Volume mesh 3D (CFD tetramesh) for fluid. Can anyone provide guidance or resources to help me understand the process better?

    Have you tried Altair Simlab? It uses the same number of units, the same solver in the background and this model should be easier to setup there.
