plate pl

Adds plate features to structural surfaces.
Adds plate features to one or more existing structural surfaces in the geometry.
plate Polygon_1 Adds a plate feature to Polygon_1.
plate Polygon_2 Polygon_3 Adds plate features to Polygon_2 and Polygon_3.
plate (Polygon_6 Polygon_4) Adds plate features to Polygon_6 and Polygon_4.
plate Group_1 Adds plate features to all structural surfaces in Group_1. Group_1 should consist of only structural surfaces.
