improve handling of sampled meshed surfaces

  • Rename starcd input files. Pending name collision between the STARCD cel/vrt/inp naming and that of ABAQUS (.inp).
  • Abaqus input for shells elements
  • Abaqus output for shells elements
  • Abaqus input of element-based surfaces
  • Abaqus output of element-based surfaces? Not sure how possible this is
  • Prevent automatic triangulation (triSurface behaviour) when reading surfaces for sampling
  • Preserve original surface face ids for output
  • Handling of surface "zones" on output might need improvement. For starcd these are the cellTableId. For nastran, a PID (property Id). For Abaqus numbers don't appear to be used, just the names, but these are currently lost during the sampling.
  • Allow sampling on a surface sub-region. Eg, a surface file might have many named sections, but we only want to retain a subset of those.
