Modified output of mixed format for numbers. Now you can define the number of significant digits and the number of significant digits for integer part only.

The new option to define the acceleration of gravity is added. So the user could change the default value (g=9.81054 m/s²), when transforming masses for dynamic analyses and when generating the response spectrum for earthquake analyses (SP RK EN 1998-1:2004/2012, NTP RK 08-01.1-2017).

Now it is possible to use shared memory for CPU and GPU. The corresponding option is added to the General program settings. This option will be useful for laptops with integrated video cards.
