Natural Convection of a Heatsink in closed system

Hi,
I am struggling to simulate an experiment I am conducting in FLUENT. I have a closed system with a square exhaust as the only outlet and a heatsink placed in the middle of this fluid domain. The heatsink is to be subjected to a temperature of 353K at its base and I need to see the heat flow through the heatsink and into the air through natural convection.
My geometry is in the attachments.
