I was thinking that piping buckling in a properly designed system is not something you will see. However, I do not know how a software program will predict also the direction of the pipe movement in this situation. Will it be up, down, right, left? If you construct a simple system with two anchors it is possible to have some similar results as it would be for buckling if you use the offset command to obtain some lateral displacements(offset will force the pipe to grow in that direction, maybe you can create relationship between temperature and offset magnitude) as the pipe heat (try it yourself) but the direction? Too complicated.
