cape.pyfun.case: FUN3D case control module

This module contains the important function case.run_fun3d(), which actually runs nodet or nodet_mpi, along with the utilities that support it.

It also contains FUN3D-specific versions of some of the generic methods from cape.case. For instance the function GetCurrentIter() determines how many FUN3D iterations have been run in the current folder, which is obviously a solver-specific task. It also contains the function LinkPLT(), which creates links to fixed Tecplot file names from the most recent output created by FUN3D.

All of the functions from cape.case are imported here. Thus they are available unless specifically overwritten by specific cape.pyfun versions.
