Add TOTAL RUN TIME FEATURE/LOG to AutoPIPE Analyses

For large AutoPIPE analyses especially, it would be VERY helpful to know how long an AutoPIPE analysis took to run! I think the a log file with the time stamp, what analyses were run, and the total run time would probably be the best option. A pop...

Improve reference loads dialog

Add a toggle between X/Y/Z and axial/shear/bending/torsion for forces and moments in the reference loads dialog. Many allowables for connections are given in terms of total shear load or bending moment. It is not possible to use the current refere...
