To be reviewed in conjunction with related xbeam pull request [here](https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/xbeam/pull/10). Changes below require related pull request on xbeam to be merged before it will compile without issues. sharpy/solvers/nonlinearstatic.py ->...

Update beamplot.py to have stride option, consistent with aerogridplot.py

As title - small fix

I guess this bit is quite related to the original generate_zeta_timestep_info in aerogrid.py - in there I realised the rigid body velocity (linear and angular) for the most general expression...

Non-perpendicular hinge axis possible for multibody solver

3

Changes to hinge_for and hinge_node_for, and unit tests for multibody beam formulation using the augmented lagrangian method - cases with dominating scaling vs penalty factor checked, as well as a...

Hotfix for pypi github action

2

As titled, also includes update to pyproject.toml for potentially replacing the setup.py build process - tested with [act](https://nektosact.com/) and github action runners. Issue being addressed is the mayavi direct dependency...

Other aero solvers need to take nonlifting grid as an optional input

at a minimum, since we broke NoAero in 2.3/2.4 and other routines

current PR #320 is configured to give two versions of wheels for pip install, github version includes pypi dependency, and PyPI version has it removed. updates in documentation (and perhaps...
