Automatic Shutdown STAAD.Pro

Provide an option to automatically shutdown STAAD.Pro after a period of inactivity. If an analysis is underway, this would be from the end of the analysis. Also it should account for any separate executables that are operated by workflow such as the Physical Workflow, Foundation Design (using STAAD Foundation Advanced) or Advanced Concrete (using RCDC). This would be similar to that provided by MicroStation. The default would be 0 mins, for which the program would continue as currently provided and only shut down under user instruction. With no recorded activity within the application modules, then after the stated time the application would end.
