Notes

- This command must be included in the loop of vehicle definition; the beginning of which is carried out with the ~BLVST command and ends with the ~BLVEND command.

- The command ~BLVB (as the ~BLVA and ~BLVD), can continue in consecutive lines. In this case, the consecutive lines should have the first argument blank.

~BLVA, 5, 3.25, 5.75, 6.12

~BLVA,, 7.21

~BLVA,, 8.19

- CivilFEM reads the arguments b_i in the ~BLVB command, until finding a zero or a blank argument.

- If a command ~BLVA or ~BLVB is repeated with the fields n or m different than zero, the previous values of a_i or b_i are deleted. In addition, the P_ij loads already introduced with the ~BLVD command are also deleted.
