  1. A block *INITIAL_STRAIN_SHELL is written into each state file, for each part declared into /DYNAIN/DT, including the strain tensor of the shells belonging to it. Strain tensor are written in global system coordinates.
  2. For QEPH shell elements (Ishell=24 in the shell property), this card must be defined in the first Engine file (<rootname>_0001.rad) to get output in the .dynain file, even if output is not needed until later Engine files.
