Block Format Keyword This option is used to initialize internal variables of user type material laws for shells (UVAR buffer).

For each integration point (Nb_integer > 0)

(1)	(2)	(3)	(4)	(5)	(6)	(7)	(8)	(9)	(10)
`V`₁		`V`₂		`V`₃				`V`_nvars

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`shell_ID`	Element identifier (Integer)
`nb_integr`	Integration point number through the thickness It corresponds to the property definition of this element. Must be equal to the number of integration points given in the shell property. (Integer)
`npg`	Number of surface quadrature points. Must be set according to the formulation which is used in the shell property. = 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)
`nvars`	Number of auxiliary internal variables. Is the number of the first user variables to be initialized for a shell. It must be less or equal to the total number of internal variables used in a user type law (NUVAR). (Integer)
`V`₁	1^st auxiliary variable value (Real)
`V`_nvars	`nvars`^th auxiliary variable value (Real)

It also may be necessary to complete the initial state of shells issued from a previous Radioss run. In this case, these values may be obtained during the previous Radioss Engine run, using option /STATE/SHELL/AUX/FULL.
It must be noticed that the contents of the blocks will not necessarily be detailed.
For npg = 0 or 1 and nb_integr > 0, the sequence Line 4 has to be repeated for each integration point.
For npg = 3 or 4, sequence Line 4 must be repeated for each quadrature point and for each integration point as follows:
- repeat for each quadrature point
- repeat for each integration point
- Line 4
The initial state for shells may be defined by more than one block.
