Why don't I see options for CONV/COND/QBDY1 and other heat transfer inputs?

I'm trying to follow tutorials for heat transfer analyses and there are certain steps where I don't see the specific options in the locations that are specified. 


For example, when following OS-T: 1080, step 4.2 says to click BCs > Create > Interfaces and then select CONDUCTION from the Card Image drop down. I don't have CONDUCTION as an option. Next, step 4.3 says to create heat flux, or QBDY1, elements. I don't have an option for QBDY1. I do, however, see "HEATFLUX" as an element type. Is this the same as QBDY1? There have been other inputs from different tutorials that I also have not been able to follow, but these are the latest I've encountered. 

I'm currently using HyperWorks 2022.3 and have also downloaded the hot fix for this version.

    Hi Haley,

    I agree to all your points and would like to inform that our documenttion team is in process of modifying Thermal analysis tutorials according to new GUI. 

    Regarding your query on CONDUCTION and QBDY1 entry, in new interface you can find them in Analyze-->Thermal ribbon on the top.

    See the below image.
