    Implement code check according to 1999-1-1 (Eurocode Aluminium)

    There is no aluminium code check for european users. Also the only aluminium code available is the American standard Aluminium design manual 1994 edition, which is outdated. Code check equivalent to EC1993-1-1 would have been highly appreciated.

    Provide option to Rename the Group

    Sometimes, during the initial stages, we may assign a group name—say, XYZ—but later someone might want to change that group name. There should be an option to rename the group without opening the STAAD editor file.
