<p>Several settings are required to see stress from a thermal condition.<\/p><p>In Engineering Data, please show a screen shot of the material used and the Secant Coefficient of Thermal Expansion.  What value is used?  If that value is constant over the temperature range you are interested in, that is all you need.
