```

## Get

### GetAssignmentListForLoadType

**Description**

Returns the assignment list for load type.

- `loadIndex` (int): load index.

**Returns**

list: A list of integers.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetAssignmentListForLoadType(1, 1)

### GetListSizeForLoadType

**Description**

Returns the list size for load type.

**Parameters**

print(result)
```

### GetLoadCountInLoadList

**Parameters**

- `varLoadListIndex` (int): var load list index.

**Returns**

raw: The raw return value from the underlying OpenSTAAD COM call. Refer to the official Bentley OpenSTAAD API reference for this method's exact return semantics.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetLoadCountInLoadList(1)
print(result)
```

### GetLoadListCount

**Description**

Returns the load list count.

**Parameters**

None.

**Returns**

raw: The raw return value from the underlying OpenSTAAD COM call. Refer to the official Bentley OpenSTAAD API reference for this method's exact return semantics.

**Example**

from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetLoadListCount()
print(result)
```

### GetLoadsInLoadList

**Description**

Returns the loads in load list.

**Parameters**

- `varLoadListIndex` (int): var load list index.

**Returns**

list: A list of integers.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetLoadsInLoadList(1)
print(result)
```

## Delete

### DeleteLoadList

**Description**

Deletes the load list.

**Parameters**

- `varLoadListIndex` (int): var load list index.

**Returns**

bool: `True` if the call succeeded, `False` otherwise.
