Tissue prepacing:
It consists of a series of pulses at a fixed basic cycle length to let the tissue reach a stable limit cycle. An activation time map is computed for the last beat. This method will generate an intermediate state to be loaded in the other protocols. This is not a protocol to induce arrhythmia.
Input parser arguments (args), output directory (job.ID), struct containing imp_regions and gregions (cmd_ref), meshname, sinus node location (sinus), prepacing directory (steady_state_dir) and tissue initialization
