Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`unit_ID`	Unit Identifier. (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
`shell_ID`	Element identifier. (Integer)
`N`_lay	Number of layers. (Integer)
`npg`	Number of surface quadrature points. = 0 (Default) Set to 1 = 1 Must be used for shell formulations `shell_ID` =1, 2, 3, 4, 24 or `I`_sh3n =1, 2, 31. = 3 Must be used for DKT18 shell formulation (`I`_sh3n =30). = 4 Must be used for BATOZ formulation (`shell_ID` =12). (Integer)
`nptt`	Integration point number through the thickness. It corresponds to the property definition of this element. (Integer)
`lay_ID`	Layer to initialize identifier. (Integer)
`fail_ID`	Failure criteria to initialize identifier. (Integer)
`Ifail_typ`	Failure criteria number to initialize. 2 (Integer)
`N`_var	Number of failure criteria variables to initialize. (Integer)
`mat_ID`	Material identifier to initialize. (Integer)
`V`₁	First failure criteria variable value. (Integer)
`V`_N	`N`^th failure criteria variable (3 values per line). (Integer)

If npg > 1, nptt > 1, and Nlay > 1, the lines with Real values have to be repeated for each integration point.
Every failure model has a Ifail_typ which is used to identify the failure model to initialize for the element. Verify failure law to element type compatibility in /FAIL.
