Thin walls in the heat transfer simulation

I have to model object with solid heat source. This heat source must be in the box with very thin walls. I would like to observe heat transfer from heat source to the box and then to the air. Later it will be used to study cooling of the casing.
2D representation of my model shows attached graphic file.
For my simulation I use Heat transfer and Laminar Flow coupled modules. As you can see on the picture I would like to model box's walls as boundaries. In the heat transfer module I see boundary condition like "Highly Conductive Layer" or "Thin Thermally Resistive Layer" where I can apply thickness but I can't apply wall boundary condition for these boundaries in the Laminar Flow module. I see it is possible only for boundaries of contact solid/fluid.
Equation for no slip wall is just u=0. Is there any possibility to apply this equation to the boundaries another way?
I would be gratefull for any suggestions,
