lizzy-lib 0.1.1

A filling simulation solver for Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) processes

Lizzy

Introducing Lizzy, a Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) simulation package written in Python.

Lizzy uses the FE/CV method to simulate a macro-scale infusion problem in porous media. The solver is mainly designed to simulate composite resin infusion processes, but can be generalised to any porous media. The name "Lizzy" was inspired by the character of Elizabeth Bennet, companion of Mr Darcy in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice.

Note: Lizzy is still in early release stage. While we strive to maintain backwards API compatibility through releases, functionalities are still being added and API may still be subject to change.

Installation

pip install lizzy-lib

Optional: PETSc solvers

Lizzy can use the PETSc library to achieve faster calculation times. To install:

pip install petsc petsc4py

Documentation

The full Documentation is available, though some parts may still be under construction.
