• Graphics transparency would be useful. Instead of either wireframe or shaded, something in between would help, perhaps with a slider to adjust transparency. This can help with inspecting internal mesh or stress classification lines. I realise the cu…

• Sergio 'Pl+Pb+Q' equivalent stress calculation - is that not what has been calculated in your linearised stress results? For instance at SCL4, Mecway value for max bending plus membrane = 32723, compared to 32698 listed against Pl+Pb+Q in the refere…
