Pacing at the End of the Effective Refractory Period:

It triggers ectopic beats at the end of the effective refractory period, computed as the minimum coupling interval at which the action potential could propagate in the tissue.

Input parser arguments (args), output directory (job.ID), struct containing imp_regions and gregions (cmd_ref), meshname, sinus node location (sinus), stimulation point location (x,y,z) and prepacing directory (steady_state_dir)
