Programming without GOTO statements - it is possible (a discussion of 30 years ago).

Why get rid of them and not just ignor them?

Matlab manages without them, but that doesn't make it right.

We need horses for courses.

We also need dimensional indexing as well, e.g. if you have a beam, you should be able to get at the result's vector for location r=0.5m, not just have to access at index=20 (or what ever step size was used)

Yes, this does need to be implemented. Have you requested this before?

More specific question.

Can we remove range variables from any (each) calculation?
I do not ask why.
I ask, can.
I know a lot of calculations, where range variables and vectors are in conflict and where better to retain only the vectors.

I fully agree with this and try and keep away from running calculations with range variables.
