Thermal expansion of a solid element

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everyone

I'm an absolute begginer in Comsol modelling and I have quick question.

Is there a way to observe (graphically or numerically) the deformation of an object by thermal expansion? More precisely, I'm heating a metal element in air to various temperatures and I want to see at what value my element starts to expand because of the resistivity and consequently energy dissipation.
