Create a parametric heat sink.

Parameters:

hs_heightint, optional: Height of the heat sink. The default is 100.
hs_widthint, optional: Width of the heat sink. The default is 100.
hs_basethickint, optional: Thickness of the heat sink base. The default is 10.
pitchoptional: Pitch of the heat sink. The default is 10.
thickoptional: Thickness of the heat sink. The default is 10.
lengthoptional: Length of the heat sink. The default is 40.
heightoptional: Height of the heat sink. The default is 40.
draftangleint, float, optional: Draft angle in degrees. The default is 0.
patternangleint, float, optional: Pattern angle in degrees. The default is 10.
separationoptional: The default is 5.
symmetricbool, optional: Whether the heat sink is symmetric. The default is True.
symmetric_separationoptional: The default is 20.
numcolumn_persideint, optional: Number of columns per side. The default is 2.
vertical_separationoptional: The default is 10.
materialstr, optional: Name of the material. The default is Al-Extruded.
centerlist, optional: List of [x, y, z] coordinates for the center of the heatsink. The default is [0, 0, 0].
plane_enumstr, int, optional: Plane for orienting the heat sink. ansys.aedt.core.constants.PLANE Enumerator can be used as input. The default is 0.
rotationint, float, optional: The default is 0.
toleranceint, float, optional: Tolerance value. The default is 0.001.

Returns:

bool: True when successful, False when failed.
