Fixed issues

A large number of issues have been addressed.

Many issues have been fixed, including:

• [SW-46230] Sometimes the licence configurator window for PLAXIS 3D would not show top-most, giving the impression PLAXIS 3D was not starting.
• [377617] Solved an issue in PLAXIS 3D Output when trying to create a cross-section that includes plastic points
• [379084] Fixed an issue in using the command line and Python to retrieve Rigid Body results for multiple steps and phases.
• [379293] Added a warning when trying to calculate the model without complete mesh data
• [379486] When selecting points for curves prior to calculation, the next time you would open a results plot, all materials were hidden. Now this Materials toggle for "select points for curves" and the calculations results view are stored independently.
• [384164] Improvements on the behaviour of detecting open models in PLAXIS 3D when using the PLAXIS 2D to 3D converter

• [430163] Improvements on tunnels created by the PLAXIS 2D to 3D converter
• [432301] PLAXIS Input would give a crash when using a command to close it (__kill). This is now resolved
• [437673] In some cases, the legend could not be selected to be added to exporting a plot to an image file. This is now fixed.
• [SW-37197] Solved an issue in the PLAXIS 3D Input rendering when closing a complex model that has over 1,000 volumes
