CMS-Wave Options File - Format 2

This format is the newest to be implemented and will be effective as of the release of SMS version 13.2 or CMS2D version 5.2.10 or later. This format mimics the same style as the CMS-Flow parameter file (*.cmcards) and is meant to be much more readable and understandable by end users.

In this format, the first line must have the card 'CMS_WAVE_STD' as the first thing on line 1. The value for the card must be the integer value 2. Remaining cards can come in any order, but must follow some rules depending on the card (which is shown as the first object on each line).
