Understanding the heatsink tutorial to implement my on design

Hello,
I'm trying to understand the heatsink tutorial and implement my own solution using a supershape. There are some steps I think I need to understand in order to get what I am looking for, so please bear with me.
If it matters, the final product would be extract the thermal resistance of the structure.
The one thing I am initial missing is the chip. Do I need to had the chip attached to my structure in order to create the heat source? Or can I directly have the power P0 injected to the base of my heatsink using another boudary condition?
You can find my .mph attached to this thread.
EDIT:
I've tried to use the same approach of creating a "chip" to be my heatsource. I haven't added the radiation effect to my model, but with only the laminar flow I already have the following error. How can this be fixed and where is the error?
