Importing Multiple Datasets into different Scenarios

This is an example of a script that create multiple scenarios and for each scenario a EDEM 2017+ simulation is imported into it. As part of the importing process, the temporal evolution graphs of the reaction force and torque for each geometry present in EDEM simulation is created and saved into each scenario:

''' This scripts starts a new session, loads the project "Backhoe optimization", creates new scenarios based on 
a list of names of scenarios and for each of them a EDEM simulation is imported into it. Also, the reaction force 
and torque graphs are calculated and saved into each scenario during the import dataset'''
