Liger
Liger is an optimization workflow platform developed by the University of Sheffield, designed to be extensible and have a smooth learning curve so that it can be used by the non-expert in industry.
The goal of this project is to enhance the capability of the Liger software, making it user-friendly and including new features, which will allow the release of the first publicly available open-source version of Liger (namely Liger v1.0) by the end of the project.

The main focus of the project will be on the development of:
-
An open-source, code-optimized version 1.0 of the Liger software, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) that allows Liger to be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
-
A plugin system that enables third-party software to be used with Liger and allows Liger to be extended in future to an HPC/Cloud service.
-
Improved support for model integration, focusing on MATLAB – a key interface required by many stakeholders.
-
New features to improve the usability of Liger by practicing engineers.
-
A Liger installer, manual and online tutorials.
