User Provided Thermal Parameters should be mentioned explicitly.

📝 Description of the feature

Currently, ParametricStudy::generate_microstructure_permutations takes the input cooling_rate, thermal_gradient, melt_pool_width and melt_pool_depth as arguments and passes it on to create a MicrostructureInput.

MicrostructureInput however has an additional argument use_provided_thermal_parameters, a boolean field that is set to False by default and True only if the user provides the above four arguments explicitly.

ParametricStudy::generate_microstructure_permutations sets the use_provided_thermal_parameters internally depending upon if the arguments have a nan or a None or an actual value specified and passes it while creating the MicrostructureInput

This needs to be enhanced by having the user explicitly mention use_provided_thermal_parameters in ParametricStudy::generate_microstructure_permutations along with the values of each of the four arguments.

The study data frame should have an additional column for use_provided_thermal_parameters and the fields for cooling_rate, thermal_gradient, melt_pool_width and melt_pool_depth should not be empty.

💡 Steps for implementing the feature

• ParametricStudy::generate_microstructure_permutations should have an additional argument use_provided_thermal_parameters
• use_provided_thermal_parameters is of type boolean and is False by default.
• If set to True ensure that all cooling_rate, thermal_gradient, melt_pool_width and melt_pool_depth fields have a float value otherwise throw an exception.
• If set to False these values should be the default values MicrostructureInput takes.
• The study data frame should have an additional column for use_provided_thermal_parameters and the other four columns should always have a value in them, whether default or the user provided value.
