Possibility of defining laminates

[edit: just found #37 — the same?]

This is a kind of "luxury issue", which could be interesting in the future, but not a priority. Naturally popped up when reading #64.

For a limb:

• Be able to define a list of laminate layers, in order from limb belly to limb back (or which ever order seems more sensible)
• Define material properties for each layer
• Define thickness of each layer, at base and at tip

Example: [Glassfiber, Ash, Glassfiber], [Glassfiber, Foam, Carbonfiber], [Horn, Bamboo, Sinew, Birch-bark], etc. each with it's own properties

Additional features:

• definable "library" of materials to pick from would be helpful to the user
• (very) complex: be to enable different properties in different directions (wood fiber orientation, unidirectional carbon fiber, etc.) with the angle for the property (CF is often layed linear with limb on one layer, diagonally - for rotational strength - in another, in specific positions in the layering to offer the best properties in it's position) - at this point not only coding, but simulation will time consuming as hell XD

Yes, that's the same as #37. I'm actually working on it right now. I hope there will be a first version in the next release. A material library would also be nice to have. I made a separate issue for it here: #90.

I leave it up to you to choose to close this or #37.
