ISO or SAE standard variable names #424

From Alexey:

ISO standards exist for mechanical spring nomenclature.
See: ISO 26909:2009(en) Springs — Vocabulary ISO 2162-2:1993 Technical Product Documentation - Springs - Part 2: Presentation Of Data For Cylindrical Helical Compression Springs

It may be desirable to create spring startup files with variable names that conform to ISO standards.

Note that the existing documentation would be heavily impacted by such a change. While some of the impact could be handled by global replacements, the existing names appear in many (if not most) screenshots as well as widely referenced graphics like the force-deflection charts used to describe variable names.

For the SAE spec, see:
SAE J1121 - Helical Compression and Extension Spring Terminology (August, 2016 Edition)

Helical Compression and Extension Spring Terminology J1121_200609
