But doing this generically is non-trivial indeed. The core code is working great and has Python wrappers, but some design goals seem impossible to achieve in C++. I hope to explain my challenges and hope to engage the community to help me out. ------ Ian Bell is a Mechanical Engineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and has written a number of C++ libraries to do useful things in numerics, optimization, and thermophysics. ------ May 1, 2022 - May 6, 2022 - Aspen, Colorado ------------------------- --- *--* ---
