Going off FEMAP memory from long ago, I think you can get shell element surface strains.
But ply strain and laminate strain is the same (unlike stresses), since strain is linear thru the thickness. The surface ply strains will be the largest values, for the directions of that those plies.
You might want to post this question in the FEMAP forum. (and delete it here)
