"""
This script is designed to be loaded in the Salome GUI after the Salome project
file plate_with_hole.hdf has been opened.
It exports the Salome mesh in Kratos syntax as .mdpa file.

NOTE: Before loading this script, lines 16&20 have to be updated with
the absolute paths to:
- the KratosSalomePlugin (line 16)
- the desired output of the .mdpa file (line 20)
