Implementation of CISC code

We implemented code checks for the bolts, preloaded bolts, welds, and plates by CISC code.

Member Capacity Design improvement

A new improvement based on the user request. The value of the bending moment is calculated and cannot be changed. Now the two load cases are created, with the same bending moment but with a different orientation.

Improvement of the user interface

For more clear arrangement the Design settings window is always displayed in the Design and Check view.

Also for the clear information about the performed analysis the information about Buckling analysis is displayed every time.
