Hi, Is it possible to map temperatures from a solid model heat transfer analysis onto a structural shell FEM. I have tried but am unable to represent the thermal gradient through the thickness of the shell.

You probably need to use the Abaqus solid shell elements.

Heat transfer analysis with solid elements on the left, structural analysis with continuum shell elements on the right:
