Is there a way to model the thermal effects on systems that contain (curved) mirrors? This would need to take account of the Tce of the mirror substrate.

You can take into account the thermal properties of a mirror material if you define a Thermal Coefficient of Expansion (TCE) in 1e-6/K.

See below:


Does that answer your question?

Thanks !
Simple and obvious, I suppose, but I didn't see it in the manual or elsewhere..
