hmtoggle_arrow1New Entity for *RIGIDWALL

The keyword was originally mapped to a HyperMesh “group” entity that was shared with other keywords such as contact. It is now mapped to new independent entity with its own ID, icon, dedicated graphics and creation process. Now creation of RIGIDWALL entity is removed from the panel. Also, added entity related model checks under model checker are available. Creation and export of extra node for base of RIGIDWALL is now removed. The following behavior is implemented:

Removed any ID renumbering that occurred when a RIGIDWALL keyword shared the same ID with other “group entities”.
Such keywords are mapped to new entities automatically upon reading ASCII or BINARY files without data loss.

A enhanced graphical representation to facilitate identification and selection in the graphics. Show, Hide, Isolate & Isolate Only have better results based on NSID, NSIDX & BOXID.
