db_create_lbc	Issue:Not supported in Patran.
	Resolution:Remove the function decription from the documentation.
	Type:Obsolete.


Note:	This function is obsolete and no longer usable. Please use db_create_lbc_new, 730 instead.


Input:
CHARACTER STRING
	<load_name>	The external name used to reference this load.
INTEGER	<application_type>	The internal ID of the load of interest. 1 = load applied to nodes 2 = load applied to elements and constant over the element 3 = load applied to elements and varying over the element
INTEGER	<load_type>	The ID of the load type of this load. See Table 7‑4 for the load ID’s currently being used by Patran.
INTEGER	<elem_dimension>	The dimensionality of the loaded elements: 1 = line element 2 = surface element 3 = solid element
INTEGER	<dynamic_flag>	A flag specifying whether this load is constant with respect to time or frequency (0) or varies with respect to time or frequency (1).
INTEGER	<coord_id>	The ID of the coordinate frame along which the loads are acting. -1 if acting in the global system or not appropriate for this load.
Output:
INTEGER	<load_id>	The internal ID assigned to this load by Patran.
INTEGER	<Return Value>	This function returns a value of 0 when executed successfully and a non zero value to indicate a change in status or an error.

Notes:

The C name differs. It is DbFCreateLbc.

int DbFCreateLbc ( load_name, application_type, load_type, elem_dimension, dynamic_flag, coord_id, load_id )

 char 	*load_name

 int 	application_type

 int 	load_type

 int 	elem_dimension

 int 	dynamic_flag

 int 	coord_id

 int 	*load_id


db_create_lbc_ds	Issue:Not supported in Patran.
	Resolution:Remove the function decription from the documentation.
	Type:Obsolete.


Note:	This function is still usable, but obsolete. Please use db_create_lbc_input_data (p. 598) instead.


Input:
INTEGER	<load_id>	The internal ID of the load of interest.
INTEGER	<num_variables>	The number of load variables defined for this load.
INTEGER ARRAY
	<variable_ids>	The IDs of the <num_variables> load variables defined for this load. See db_create_nodal_lbc_var_defn, 559 and db_create_elem_lbc_var_defn, 558 for details about the load variable IDs.
REAL ARRAY	<real_values>	The real scalar values for each of the <num_variables> load variables.
INTEGER ARRAY
	<spatial_fields>	The spatially varying field references for each of the <num_variables> load variables. Zero signifies that there is no spatial variance in the load.
INTEGER ARRAY
	<dynamic_fields>	The <num_variables> dynamic field references for all the load variables. Zero implies that the corresponding load variable is constant with respect to time or frequency.
REAL ARRAY	<scale_factors>	The <num_variables> scale factors to be applied to each of the load variables.
Output:
INTEGER	<Return Value>	This function returns a value of 0 when executed successfully and a non zero value to indicate a change in status or an error.

Notes:

The C name differs. It is DbFCreateLbcDS.

int DbFCreateLbcDS ( load_id, num_variables, variable_ids, real_values, spatial_fields, dynamic_fields, scale_factors )

db_create_lbc_dv	Issue:Not supported in Patran.
	Resolution:Remove the function decription from the documentation.
	Type:Obsolete.


Note:	This function is still usable, but obsolete. Please use db_create_lbc_input_data (p. 598) instead.


Input:
INTEGER	<load_id>	The internal ID of the load of interest.
INTEGER	<num_variables>	The number of load variables defined for this load.
INTEGER ARRAY
	<variable_ids>	The IDs of the <num_variables> load variables defined for this load. See db_create_nodal_lbc_var_defn, 559 and db_create_elem_lbc_var_defn, 558 for details about the load variable IDs.
REAL ARRAY	<real_values>	The values for the 3 components for each of the <num_variables> load variables. If a corresponding spatial field reference exists, this value is meaningless.
INTEGER ARRAY
	<spatial_fields>	The spatially varying field references for the 3 components for each of the <num_variables> load variables. Zero signifies that there is no spatial variance in the load and the corresponding <real_values> value should be used. If a spatial reference exists, the corresponding <real_values> value should be ignored.
INTEGER ARRAY
	<dynamic_fields>	The dynamic field references for the 3 components for each of the <num_variables> load variables. Zero implies that the corresponding load variable vector component is constant with respect to time or frequency.
INTEGER ARRAY
	<null_flags>	The null component flags for the 3 components for each of the <num_variables> load variables. -1 means that no data was filled in for that vector component, whereas 0 means that data was input for the corresponding vector component.
REAL ARRAY	<scale_factors>	The <num_variables> scale factors to be applied to each of the load variables.
Output:
INTEGER	<Return Value>	This function returns a value of 0 when executed successfully and a non zero value to indicate a change in status or an error.
