(Thumbs up, Joe.)

Well that would be an "optimizer", built on top of the simulator.
The goal of the simulator is to tell you the heat resistance of a particular setup.
With a heat input you can infer the actual temp of your heat source.
Once the sim is built and running, we'll be able to consider running it in iterative runs to find optimal setups. Until then, finding the best setup will be up to the user.

I've been running a few tests with real datasets (two pumps and one waterblock), with Lagrange polynomial interpolation the curve fits real well. I'm polishing a little tool that displays the characteristics of an element in a window, with a graph. If i'm motivated enough it can be ready next weekend.
