piglot: an Open-source Package for Derivative-free Optimisation of Numerical Responses

piglot is an open-source Python tool tailored for the automated optimisation of responses stemming from numerical solvers.This tool aims to provide a simple and user-friendly interface that seamlessly integrates with a spectrum of community solvers, ensuring effortless extension.piglot emerges as a versatile toolkit for tackling inverse problems spanning diverse research domains, such as structural analysis, material modelling, fluid dynamics, control systems, and astrophysics -fields where methodologies such as finite element analysis, spectral methods, and Monte Carlo simulations are often adopted.The primary emphasis is on derivativefree optimisation, ensuring compatibility with black-box solvers in scenarios lacking gradient information and when function evaluations may be noisy.
