Automatic csv updater
This allows for csv data files to be used in the code
New update allows the file to detect the units of the .dat file and apply the correct scale factors

File management:
The updated optimization file management system allows for the experimental data file to be automatically converted from .csv to .dat in the required format for the code to run in its current state. Perhaps an update in the future to the analysis file will be next, update will allow the analysis file to ignore the header.
Automated systems units management:
The updated units management allows the code to be able to auto-detect the units that the model was programmed in to allow for the correct scaling of the design variables.
Readjusted design variable starting points:
The previous design variable starting points had the variables x[0] and x[1] being set to equal values. This resulted in the system having an assumed poisons ratio of -0.5 which is a poor starting point for the analysis. The updated starting points now have the value of x[1] being equal to x[0]/3, this change now results in an assumed poisons ratio of 0.5. These new starting points are likely closer to the model's actual material properties and was shown to require 30% fewer function calls and iterations when attempting to fit the data set.
