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.

This project is still in early development stage and has not reached a release version yet. While the solver results are generally correct, there may still be cases where it fails. If you use Lizzy and encounter some issue, you can help improve the software faster by reporting what you encountered in the Issues section.
