PURPOSE

Retrieve the Minimum Value for the specified parameters in the specified time range from the database.

SYNTAX

PLGetMinimumValue( DatabaseName, StartTimeIndex, EndTimeIndex, ParameterType, ItemIndex, DOFNo )

PARAMETERS

DatabaseName (Character String)

The full path and filename to the relevant database. The file extension is optional.

StartTimeIndex (Integer)

The start time index, from 1 to the number of solutions in the database.

EndTimeIndex (Integer)

The end time index, from 1 to the number of solutions in the database. This should be a number higher than StartTimeIndex.

ParameterType (Integer)

The type of parameter to retrieve data for. See Parameter Types for a complete list.

ItemIndex (Integer)

The index of the required item. This is parameter dependent e.g. for kinematic parameters, this is a node number.

DOFNo (Integer)

The DOF or Local node number. This is parameter dependent so the ranges should correspond to what is valid for the parameter.

OUTPUT

A numerical value containing the minimum value for the specified parameters or one of the following error codes:

-999999998

Invalid Database.

-999999996

Invalid Parameter Number.

-999999995

Invalid Time Index. This may be either the start or end time.

-999999990

-999999985

Local Node Number or DOF is out of range.

-999999980

General Read Error.
