2D Visualization Module

Purpose

Visualization is a tool that can enhance significantly the presentation of results, but can also help the researcher to understand he response of structures. A 2D visualization module is implemented in the program that allows creating 2D animations using  moving nodes (motion defined by time history) connected by lines. This module uses the visualization data file type (*.vis) to load and save the data of the visualizations;
