Automatic error handling of missing/incomplete mcnp output file

[jamesbevins]

This can happen a couple of ways:
a) Geometry error and particles got lost
b) Filesystem error and the file wasn't saved
c) Run time timeout

For b and c, it would be best to keep running instead of failing. The same is probably also true of a), but there should definitely be a prominent warning added to the logfile (maybe a separate one? or slurm.out?)

I implemented a version of this in Gnowee Utilities. All it does is prevent the whole program from crashing by using try/except, but it is a start.

Hi James, regarding this bug especially point a). So while working on the mcnp geometry input file reading I was thinking about such error. So I thought have error alert in a slurm.out file that alerts that the mcnp output has a "lost particle" info error which usually means geometry error, would that work? Without stopping the run correct? Would we want still to have that MCNP input file printed out ?

For point b) do you mean an MCNP input file?

For point c) do you mean for the single run?
