One or more directions, have comfort plots that have a different numbers of points. #32

Problem: This problem usually occurs if the model has a topology and the topology is assigned to the comfort map. If you look at the directional results for velocity, you will likely see squares of data, not disks, that rotate with the wind direction. This means different numbers of points in different locations are exported and cannot be directly indexed.

Current Fix: Split the topology with a disk approximately at the radius and centre of the ROI and select the inner disk as the comfort map.

Cause: SimScale for the comfort plot uses only common points yet exports all points for directions.

Long-term solution: Either the code operates more robustly, or better still, only the comfort plot in the disk is exported for directions by SimScale.
