@tlamonthezie I rebased this PR on top of develop, following the merger of PR #519 and I am now getting the following runtime error:

Do you know what is wrong here? Thanks.

Update: the same error happens for me with develop, following the merger of #519

I confirm @cwschilly that your change fixed the problem with the LB data file schema file.

PR can be reviewed @cwschilly @lifflander, in the default setting that comes with this PR, any other load-balancer (whether it is vt's temperedLB or the MILP approach) must find a 0-imbalance as LBAF's InformAndTransfer does in a couple of iterations:

N.B.: the rendered edges in the figures above must be disregarded as they correspond to the VTK problem on certain versions of macOS.
