 A simple example to test adaptive analysis with TACS/TMR.

+This example uses a square flat plate, fully fixed on two edges, with a uniform
 pressure load. Static analysis is performed, followed by either uniform or 
 adaptive refinement. Adaptive refinement is based on a selected output of 
 interest. Various options for this example can be selected through command line 
 arguments, see below. 
 
 To run a simple adaptive analysis on the KS failure output, do the following:
 1. run `python make_plate_geom.py` to generate the square plate geometry file
-2. run `mpirun -np 4 python plate_adapt.py --niters 8 --adapt`
-3. run `mpirun -np 4 python plate_adapt.py --niters 5`
-4. compare the results of adaptive and uniform refinement between step 2 and 3
