Offset vectors gives wrong results in solution sequences that compute differential stiffness (NASTRAN SOL 105 and 106) and so when temperature load is assigned at nodes (NASTRAN SOL 101 too) reaching additional non realistic bending stress.A simple test can be done assigning offset in pshell for 2d element with a simple modelization too.
