 ====== Thermal Boundary Conditions ======
+<WRAP half column>
+Thermal boundary conditions are applied to faces of the components participating in the simulation by connecting to the boundary condition input on the thermal solver component

 ===== Temperature Load =====
+<WRAP half column>
+A "Temperature" boundary condition fixes the temperature at the chosen boundary at the specified temperature.
+A Temperature boundary condition requires two inputs:
+  * G: the geometry of the surfaces where the temperature is fixed
+  * T: the magnitude of the temperature
+</WRAP>
+<WRAP half column>

+</WRAP>
 ===== Thermal Convection =====
+<WRAP half column>
+"Thermal Convection" specifies the transfer of heat from a surrounding medium.
+A thermal convection boundary condition requires three inputs:
+  * G: the geometry of the surfaces where the convection is specified.
+  * C: the coefficient of convection
+  * Te: the temperature of the surrounding medium

 ===== Thermal Flux =====
+<WRAP half column>
+Surface "Thermal or Heat Flux" specifies the heat flow per unit of surface area.
+A surface thermal flux requires two inputs:
+  * G: the geometry of the surfaces where the heat flux is applied
+  * HF: the magnitude of the heat flux
