Shrinkage deflection in Robot

[prgh]

hi

How to get the shrinkage deflection in Robot for a specified shrinkage strain.I have modeled an equivalent uniform temperature loads  and done a cracked deflection check for the load but the result is not matching with CSI SAFE.In CSI SAFE we can add the shrinkage strain in nonlinear deflection check(See below).

As you mentioned, for shrinkage, you can define shrinkage as separate load case if you want to consider.

Also, you can have a look for this
