Questions about crack growth code using extended finite method uel (Abaqus uel xfem code)

Submitted by Honggang Jia on
Respected all students and teachers,
  I am rencently study the xfem code (downloaded from  http://www.pudn.com/downloads247/sourcecode/math/detail1147440.html,
 you can input account number:Z770428 and password :770428 ,then download UEL_XFEM code for crack growth .)   but  I encounterd some questions , in the following is some code in UEL_XFEM code  of page 41 ,
