I did thermal + structural analysis for the composite cantilever. Firstly, I analyzed temperature distribution in thermal analysis. Then, this thermal analysis model (shell131) was transferred to a structural analysis model(shell181) by changing element type. So I got z-directional displacement of the composite cantilever.

However, as shown in the figure below, this displacement value is always same as the applied temperature load value. If I set the temperature load to 21 (top line in the left figure), the maximum z-directional displacement is 21. Strangely, if I set the temperature load to 30, the maximum z-directional displacement is 30.
