Is it possible to input non-isotropic thermal expansion coefficients for Hyperelastic material

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am using Comsol for a small project using solid mechanics physics and was wondering if I could define a coefficient of thermal expansion as diagonal instead of just isotropic for a hyperelastic material. I can do this for a linear elastic model, but not for a hyperelastic model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Andrew
