pyGIMLi is a mature open-source geophysical modelling and inversion library, implemented as a C++ core with Python bindings. It provides mesh generation, finite-element solvers, data containers, and high-level manager classes for methods such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), vertical electrical sounding (VES), frequency-domain electromagnetics (FDEM), magnetics, gravity, traveltime, and spectral induced polarization. The library is not a GUI application; it is a programmatic toolkit with Python entry points, example scripts, and a console-app pattern in some managers.

The LLM identified 6 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Header-only C++ block-matrix abstraction for coupled or structured linear systems. Demonstrates a reusable pattern for assembling and solving multi-physics or multi-dataset problems with sparse blocks, and is self-contained enough to extract into a new C++ project.

file: core/src/blockmatrix.h ↗ | tags: #block-matrix #sparse-linear-algebra #cxx-header-only

General-purpose array utilities including unique-row operations, progress bars, and small data helpers. These functions are decoupled from the inversion core and can be lifted into any scientific Python project with minimal modification.

file: pygimli/utils.py ↗ | tags: #array-utils #progress-bars #data-cleaning

Provides pygimli.test() and doctest/pytest integration for scientific code. Encapsulates a pattern for running a library's test suite programmatically, which is useful for validating numerical code in CI or in user environments.

file: pygimli/test.py ↗ | tags: #test-runner #doctest #scientific-testing

High-level mesh generation and manipulation toolkit for unstructured 2D/3D meshes. Encapsulates mesh creation, refinement, and boundary handling in a way that could be reused as a standalone meshing layer outside pyGIMLi.

file: pygimli/meshtools/__init__.py ↗ | tags: #mesh-generation #unstructured-mesh #finite-element

The FDEM class bundles data import, frequency selection, forward modelling, and plotting for frequency-domain electromagnetic problems. It is a clean example of a method-specific manager pattern for geophysical workflows.

file: pygimli/physics/em.py ↗ | tags: #manager-pattern #forward-modelling #data-import

The Timelapse class handles multi-dataset inversion with time selection and batch result handling. It demonstrates a reusable pattern for time-lapse geophysical monitoring and can be adapted to other inversion backends.
