Updated multi domain workflows to use this script using a second nested parameter study to loop through each element. (ARCHIVED-ISSUE-19, ARCHIVED-MERGE-12). By Thomas Allard.

• Create script for parsing balance equation errors from Micromorphic Filter standard output which creates csv and plot files and added to workflows. Additional script for collecting output across multiple filtering domain studies (ARCHIVED-ISSUE-23, ARCHIVED-MERGE-13). By Thomas Allard.
