Previous studies demonstrate that the New Small Wheel (NSW) chambers' residual misalignment originating from measurement uncertainties of the alignment system is small enough to allow muon reconstruction with sufficient accuracy for CERN's high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). However, deformations and heat expansions were assumed to have subordinate effect compared to chamber translations and rotations but they actually might have a contribution that will become relevant for further improvement of the muon momentum measurement. This study therefore investigates the behaviour of alignment uncertainties from deformations/expansions on Monte Carlo samples generated by the simulation software of the ATLAS experiment with regard to their translational/rotational equivalents/compositions. A realistic estimation for the residual uncertainties of the parameters describing deformations/expansions allows finally to evaluate the overall impact on the muon reconstructed performance.
