RP_E()

			job,
			cmd_ref,
			meshname,

			steady_state_dir
	)

Rapid Pacing with reentry check at the End:

It consists of a train of electrical stimulations with decreasing coupling interval (args.step) between args.start_bcl and args.end_bcl. It can give multiple beats with the same cycle length (args.max_n_beats_RP) and it checks for arrhythmia induction at the end of the protocol

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