Then I added a convection on the floor of the base (not the fins of the heat sink) with a film coefficient of 6e-6 (also ramped). Then I selected all sides of the fins and added another convection in the fins of 1.2e-5 (also ramped. The ambient temperature remained at 22 C. I do not understand what is going wrong here.
