Features to be implemented

• Plotting mode shapes is not implemented yet. (modal analysis results are printed on system output),
• Until now I have implemented only concentrated force, uniform load, general lateral load on beam and temperature load...
• Plotting response time history diagram for beams is not implemented,
• User interface is too simplistic for now. Data are read from text file (see directory mydata for examples). I am going to implement more user friendly user interface.
