 Although we
           omit it here, we could first call <a href="badkpv_c.html">badkpv_c</a>
           to make sure the variable BODY499_RADII
           has three elements and numeric data type.
           If the variable is not present in the kernel
           pool, <a href="bodvrd_c.html">bodvrd_c</a> will signal an error.
           ./
           <a href="bodvrd_c.html">bodvrd_c</a> ( &quot;MARS&quot;, &quot;RADII&quot;, 3, &amp;n, radii );

           /.
           Compute flattening coefficient.
