How to add shrinkage model for a given problem?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

i am currently working on "convective drying of carrot" model in comsol,and i am able to get results of heat and mass transfer for a given model by applying heat and mass transfer equations. but now i want to study shrinkage effect ,so please anyone tell me which model i should use in order to get the results and also also how to couple heat and mass transfer model with shrinage model

If it's hygroscopic shrinkage you are trying to model, this blog should be helpful:

This feature is found in the Structural Mechanics Module.
