Add minimum + maximum stress/fos/displacement callouts + autoscale.

I think this is something that has been brought-up before by many others but I wanted to echo it again.

Not having minimum/maximum values for stress/fos/displacement makes it more difficult to quickly and accurately ascertain results from simulations. It can be time consuming and inaccurate to manually scale the visual colour graph and scan my mouse across the yellow areas to find something that approximates the min/max value of whatever result I'm interested in. It would be incredibly useful to have the following:
  1. Min/max value callouts of each displacement, stress, and FOS on the main screen.
  2. Autoscale button next to the colour graph legend that will scale the colour graph to the min/max values (or to some amount just beyond these values, 5%?).
  3. Results section under the Simulation tab that displays the min/max for each the displacement, stress, and FOS for each simulation in a table.
I won't pretend to be a developer, but I imagine that the values of every node are stored in some kind of data structure that could have a min/max function run on them to ascertain these results. At which point it becomes an exercise in the front-end to display the results.

    Good idea. best to raise this properly as an improvement request ticket
