+% In order to run Ivins1999 benchmarks, for now, we do things manually as follows: 
+% 1. numtimes is fixed to be five 
+% 2. final_time given above is hard-coded in "GiaDeflectionCorex.cpp"
+% 3. evaluation time = start_time 
+% 4. define new load times, according to the chosen evaluation time (care that general load history is not altered). This is really important, because of #1 and also becasue of the fact that futre loading times are not recognized.
+% 5. Ice thickness assoiated with evaluation time is actually the same at final_time
