i_batch=0    #0..GUI for input files, 1..GUI with mask for parameter input 
i_model=2    #1..RTMsim model, 2..Default LCMsim model, 3..Pressure dependent porosity and permeability
i_mesh=2     #1..dat (NASTRAN), 2..inp (ABAQUS)
mypath=joinpath(pwd())
repositorypath="D:\\work\\LCMsim_v2_repositorydirectory\\LCMsim_v2.jl"    #Path to LCMsim_v2.jl folder
guipath="D:\\work\\LCMsim_v2_repositorydirectory\\LCMsim_GUI\\gui_and_cases\\gui"    #Path to gui folder
include(joinpath(guipath,"lcmsim_v2_gui_gtk4.jl"))
