Thermal Expansion / Contraction

Thermal Expansion / Contraction

Thermal Expansion / Contraction

(OP)
I'm starting to design some parts that operate at elevated temperatures. Some of the design work is done with the part HOT, but some of the design requires the part to be COLD. I know that "generic" proe has the Edit / Scale functionality. However it seems that this isn't a feature, i.e. I don't see it in the model tree and hence can't suppress the expansion/contraction as needed depending on needing a HOT model or a COLD model.

One person mentioned that MOLD design had a shrinkage feature that might help. Does this work at the part level? Are there other modules that would allow me to work with the thermal expansion/contractions?

thanks
