User requests

The following user requests have been incorporated in this release:

[727049] LEM - Blast Disturbance Factors are now applied to Anisotropic Linear Model (ALM2) materials, rock mass or bedding components, in addition to Hoek-Brown materials by choosing a Hoek-Brown material as a child of an ALM2 material.
[789394] LEM - Added access to the calculated slip surface coordinates through the Slope Stability Python API.
[789454] LEM - Added output of the Slice Information normally available on the Slice Information dialog through the Slope Stability Python API.

Fixed issues

A large number of issues have been addressed, including:

[778439] SoilVision Soils - Added some missing entries to SoilVision Soils project settings country list.
[781817] LEM - Corrected clearing of a distributed load on a 3D region when a different 3D region was deleted.
[781824] LEM - Improved selection and right-click options for distributed loads in 3D View modes.
[794244] LEM - Corrected regression where the Block Model material specification dialog was not displaying anything for new models.
[800596] LEM - Batch Analysis from the PLAXIS LE Manager was not updating the model runtimes in all cases.
[804156] LEM - Corrected a few display cases where FOS was being displayed on labels instead of the Ky seismic coefficient label when seismic analysis was applied to a Multi-Plane Analysis (MPA) model.
[806723] LEM - Fixed the error encountered following the steps in the 2D Spatial Variability tutorial, caused by the recent addition of the option to use the Ru water parameter for Probability Analysis.
[785542] Groundwater - Fixed case where Average Step Function data input as a percentage for Relative Humidity was not converted to decimal format for the Groundwater solver.
[794383] Groundwater - Fixed errors pasting data and importing from .CSV files into the Groundwater Initial Conditions dialogs and improved the import workflow to be consistent with other import operations.
[808205] Consolidation - Graphs of the variables k and flux were not displayed in the correct units when the model units were not meters and seconds in a Consolidation analysis.
[821875] Consolidation - Fixed an error solving a 1D model when a Range Graph range option is set to Entire Model or Entire Region instead of a Custom Range.
[795828] Fixed case where the Site Photo dialog was displaying incorrectly when loaded on a secondary monitor.
