How to Examine Power Dissipated through Convection

      I have ran a thermal transient analysis on a collection of electronics boards. There is a cooling appied to the bottom of a heat sink that all the electronic boards connect to and convection applied the surfaces of the boards and heat sink. I would like to know how to examine the power dissapated through the convection only. If anyone knows to ascertain these post-processing results, the help would be much apperciated.

      Thanks!

      Hi Jacob,
      Have you tried to drag and drop the convection BCs into the solution? the Reaction probe of convection which will provide you heat flow due to the convection.
