I am modeling a Micro-heater. As i am using Joule heating with thermal expansion, i want to plot thermal expansion.
guide me to obtain the thermal expansion 3-D surface plot

Hi

try a volume plot - volume with ts.disp as variable (I believe its the default one that comes up, if it's not already part of the 1-2 default plots

then you can look at the detailed displacements with u,v,w, or directly the strain or stress tensor components

Good luck
