The nb_integr should be equal to the number of integration point N specified in the shell property.
For the case of global integration (N = 0 in the shell property for elastic material /MAT/LAW01), nb_integr = 0, but 2 thickness integration points are output.
The npg must be set according to the formulation which is used in the shell property.
If nb_integr ≠ 0, repeat the optional continuation lines for each integration point.
The initial state for shells may be defined by more than one block.
