Description

Description of issue / requirement to address

At the moment alot of the assumed material properties in the stress models are hard coded inputs of different steel material properties. Yield stresses, Youngs Moduli, Poisson's rations etc. These variables alone are stored in TF coil variables files an should atleast be in constants.py

Proposed solution

Implement a set of new switch cases that allows the user to choose the type of materials (steels) that the user can use for their models. This can be as simple as a dictionary that contains the material data for a specfic material.
