Abstract
Proper thermal behavior of a telescope mainly means three things: 1) avoid thermal-induced deflections, 2) avoid high solid-to-air temperature differences that cause seeing, and 3) maintain the temperature of the electronics and of the optical instruments within their operative range. To evaluate the ability of the telescope to fulfil the thermal aims in the design phase, at least two types of thermal models are used: finite element models, and dynamic block models. EIE developed a complete procedure to integrate the two types of thermal models, based on the concept of thermal modal analysis.
