I have a system consisting of 4 bolts that apply a compressive load on an item between two plates. I want to calculate how much the compressive load of the bolts decreases because of thermal expansions as the temperature increases.

Is there any way to calculate this load decrease in COMSOL? Currently, I have a model that applies a constant load at all temperatures, but I would like the model to take into account the load decrease at each temperature.
