It will be nice to have aluminium materials in the design options; this will help those of us who frequently check aluminium member capacity; STAAD may have this; but we need this in Elements. These will make Elements complete program.
I've had to do a couple of aluminum jobs now and would've liked to do them in Elements since I already use that everyday. Granted, the aluminum code is a lot more complex to implement that steel (particularly with the impact of welded joints on material strength), so it'd probably be a bear to develop, but it would expand the usefulness of Elements significantly.
