 * 1) If doing a wing-body-tail case, create 2 copies of the MDO lift distribution file, then modify each to contain either wing or tail lift dist data
 * 2) Integrate total lift using data in the _wing and _tail lift dist files created in step 1. Use the script "GARDN/scripts/calcTotalLift_new"
 * Needs an input parameters file called "calcTotalLift.input.param"
 * Creates summary output file with extension "-integrated_lift.out"
 * 1) Compare integrated lifts with total aircraft weight at corresponding operating condition. Total aircraft weight can be obtained from the MDO mission data file.
