Description
What is this PR
Why is this PR needed?
Specifying a non-default model currently writes to package files (which is a bad idea in general, but in particular causes errors on shared systems like our local HPC).
What does this PR do?
User-specified model configuration files are written to user folder instead.
It also documents and renames some of the functions involved.
