How do I calculate shrinkage in Print 3D?

My settings are using: Thermo-Mechanical and run analysis. 

I could get the displacement values but not the shrinkage values.

    Hello Alleys,

    We are no longer supporting Thermo Mechanical analysis in latest version of Inspire 2022.1.1. Instead you can use Inherent strain analysis and analyze Displacement and von misses results under both Printing and Springback stage. Shrinkage analysis is only available under Binder Jet Sintering and not in SLM.
