PLOT.DAT & OPT.DAT seem to now be redundant and never used

Closed this issue · 1 comments

The output files OPT.DAT and PLOT.DAT seem to never be used for external use. PLOT.DAT now seems to be created but nothing is ever written to it.
OPT.DAT contains the used iteration and constraint variables which are already stated in the MFILE

These files should be checked for their use and removed or re-formatted.

Example OPT.DAT output below:

PLOT.DAT is only written to when a scan is run, but then this file is never used. OPT.DAT is only nonempty when old vmcon is used. Both files will be removed from process
