Analysis Types
| Types | When to use | Flow Network | Thermal Network |
| Steady State Flow | No transient components and 1 set of inputs. | X | |
| Steady State Flow + Steady State Thermal | No transient components and 1 set of inputs. | X | X |
| Transient Flow | Transient flow components exist. | X | |
| Transient Flow + Transient Thermal | Transient flow components exist. | X | X |
| Quasi Steady Flow (Mission Analysis) | No transient components and multiple sets of inputs. | X | |
| Quasi Steady Flow + Transient Thermal | No transient flow components but there are lumped masses in thermal network | X | X |
| Steady State Thermal | No transient components and 1 set of inputs | X | |
| Transient Thermal | Lumped masses in thermal network | X | |
| Water Hammer Simulation | Elastic Pipe Must be Present Only Flow Network | X |
When to use the different “Analysis Types” is pretty clear based on the types name. The “Quasi Steady Flow…” and the “Transient Flow …” types will give similar results for flow models that do not include any transient components.
