Fields

Name	Description
ExpandAlways	Grounded nodes will move relative to each other by an amount determined by the housing temperature and thermal expansion coefficient of the housing material defined on the design. This may not be valid if there is a grounded housing as the grounded nodes may not move correctly relative to this housing.
ExpandIfNoFEHousing	If there is an FE Substructure active in the design that is set to be a housing and has a thermal expansion vector then the grounded points will not expand. Otherwise grounded nodes will be expanded using the housing temperature and thermal expansion coefficient of the housing material defined on the design. This was the default behaviour prior to MASTA 11.
ExpandIfNoGroundedFESubstructures	If there is a grounded FE housing present then the grounded nodes will not move as it is not possible to automatically determine the correct direction relative to this FE. Otherwise grounded nodes will be expanded using the housing temperature and thermal expansion coefficient of the housing material defined on the design. This is the default option.
NoExpansion	Grounded nodes do not move due to thermal expansion. This is valid if an FE housing is present that can correctly represent the thermal expansion behaviour and any grounded components should have no relative movement.
