Plots the flex model including the mode shapes.
If only d is entered (first form below) the function will plot the mode
shapes for unit mode displacments. The 'model' option plots the total node
displacement for the given mode displacement, eta. The 'nodes' option plots
the total node displacment for unit modal displacements.
See GetFlex for formatting data into the needed structure.
