Select Solution > Strain > Thermal 

Check that the thermal strain reported by ANSYS for all parts compares well with the expected value from alpha*(dT). 

dT is calculated as T2-T1

T2 is the temperature specified in the Thermal Condition under Static Structural. Note that alpha is calculated at this temperature.

T1  is the Environment Temperature. Make sure it is set to 70F as per below.
