Can temperature load be applied to solid shell elements?

Hello, I am running a solid shell composite elements model with SOL 400. I managed obtaining good results using a 1 increment NLSTATICS analysis for an applied quasistatic acceleration. However, when I want to apply a temperature load with "TEMPERATURE(LOAD), it doesn't work. Is it due to to the use of solid shell elements?

Thanks for your help,

Vincent

Here is an example using coupled thermal -mechanical analysis of layered composite (PCOMPLS) in a single execution.

I have included a powerpoint and a NASTRAN coupled physic bdf file here .
