add spring supports

No. Just more wish list stuff :)

Describe the solution you'd like
Spring supports.

Additional context
One of the uses I have in mind for xlFrames is modeling treated wooden posts embedded in the ground, a.k.a. post frame foundations. Current best practice is to model the soil's lateral capacity as a series of springs with k-values determined by geotechnical properties of the various soil horizons, something like this...

When analysis software lacks spring supports these soil springs are modeled as additional nodes and members (with AE/L = k_soil_spring) - not the end of the world - It's simple enough to set that up, just a bit of a hassle to exclude these extra nodes and members from the desired results. Built-in spring supports would be a welcome upgrade.

The example in this PDF demonstrates the non-"dummy member" approach to spring supports that I'd like to emulate. Sharing it here for posterity.

The logistics of incorporating this approach into the existing architecture of xlFrame require further thought.
