This was implemented during the 2022 version of MIT 22.63 ('MANTA'). This needs to be reimplemented here.

User should be able to specify Z_eff and calculate impurities, assuming a concentration of tungsten/helium and choosing the desired impurity. If the Z_eff is already too high from tungsten/ash contamination then the program halts.

User should be able to specify B at a TF coil and the distance from the coil to the edge of the plasma, with the program calculating B0 for POPCON purposes. Assuming unshaped plasma is ok.

User should be able to specify q* and have the program calculate I_P based on other set parameters.
