    This code snippet defines a subroutine called GetMaxMoment that loops through selected beams and load cases in a StaadPro model to find the maximum and minimum bending moment (Mz) for each beam. It initializes variables to store the beam numbers, load cases, and moment values. It then loops through each beam and within that loops through the load cases, calling methods to get the max and min Mz for each combination of beam and load case. The maximum and minimum values found are written to cells in the active spreadsheet.
