Hi, I would like to know if the idea, *Continuum Mechanics: Create a Rich 2D Beam Solving System*, will be considered this time or not. I would also like to know if it is better to
- implement more features in the existing beam module - Or expand the continuum mechanics module to implement other structures like trusses and frames. Due to the short coding period it won't be possible to implement both of the above.
