Confusion in understanding of cold plate used in ev battery cooling system

In the available example i.e. " sscfluids.ev.battery.cooling ", the cooling plates are used for cooling the battery. I want to know that how that system is represeting the physical system? I mean in one battery pack there are x no. of cells. So I wanted to know that how these cells will be physically in contact with the cooling plate?

I feel that there may be confusion in understanding my question, so i am elobrating my question here. I was looking at battery disassembly of chevrolet volt battery disassembly and I found that for pair of 2 cells they have used one cold plate inbetween covering whole surface area but in mathworks example for no. of cells in one battery pack they have used only one cold plate. So how these x no. of cells are connected with cold plate. Whether I can use this model for creating thermal managemtn for chevolet volt gen 2 or not. Please clarify my doubt soon if possible.

If you drill down into the cooling plate subsystem, you can see that there are thermal conduction blocks that represent the heat path between the battery and the coolant channels. You will likely have to reconfigure the model and assign new parameter values to represent your pack. It may be better to start from scratch and use the example model as inspiration rather than copy it exactly.

Hi,

according to my understanding this is the physical system.
