In certain cases, a thermal analysis is followed by a stress analysis in order to evaluate the structural integrity of the component under the given thermal conditions. In a typical heat transfer problem, the goal is to obtain certain thermal quantities within a body under a specific set of boundary conditions. These quantities include: temperatures, thermal fluxes and gradients, and the amount of heat dissipated. There are two main types of thermal analyses:
