I discussed the problem with developer and following is what he mentioned:

"Inertia relief requires that displacement constraints are applied to the structure to prevent rigid-body motion, so this is not a good solution for free thermal expansion. For thermal expansion, you could apply kinematic constraints to prevent rigid body motion while allowing free thermal expansion.  "

Inertia relief on the other hand, is ore suited for problem with unbalance structural loads, such a s a block compressed from both ends using equal and opposite forces. The forces that can provide acceleration to the body, if remain non arrested (even slightly) can be handled using Inertia relief.
