Pass tidal heating to Aragog and SPIDER #281

Closed nichollsh closed 1 day ago

nichollsh commented 5 days ago

Aragog and SPIDER both now support tidal heating as input variables. This can be set in PROTEUS using the dummy orbit module.

The tidal heating provided by the dummy orbit module should be passed to Aragog and SPIDER when it is enabled. This can be done in a somewhat similar manner to radiogenic heating.

Future issues should handle physical calculations of the tidal heating rate. There are various models to explore to do this.
