CYPE 3D has allowed, since previous versions, for surface loads to be defined on shells. As of the 2015.h version, CYPE 3D allows users to define temperature and retraction increments on the shells. This can be done in the “Introduce loads on shells” dialogue box (Loads > Introduce loads on shells).
Furthermore, now that, as of the 2015.h version, specific loadcases for temperature and retraction can be defined in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D, any temperature and retraction loads applied can be included in their specific loadcases and combined with the other loadcases in accordance with the selected design code.
