FEMaster as a FEM solver

Well, I just using it for two weeks ago and looks amazing. The developer has changed the output to .frd compatible format so the direct integration with Prepomax is ready. There are some features that could complement very well Calculix such as inertia relief and inertial loads if I have understand well.

In order to run in Prepomax, we need to define mesh, material and sections as usual, and define groups of nodes/faces/elements to write then the input cards with the deck editor included in Prepomax. In the Prepomax options I have changed the CCX excecutable for the FEMaster, and in the Analyisis windows adjust a little the job parameters.
