Load project from ort file #170
Description
The user should be able to load project from ort files. This would enable a workflow where
- user gets a (multicontrast) .ort file containing an initial model from Mantid
- user can 'load' that .ort file directly into RasCAL-2
A proof of concept for converting ort to MATLAB RAT Project is available here. The author described the workflow as follows (I have not tested yet)
- get the ORSO model language description into the .ort file and concatenate multiple contrasts if required (this is done separately, and will hopefully be done by Mantid)
- load ORSO file using the orsopy methods
- parse model struct to detect 'bilayer' because it is not (yet) part of orsopy; if found keep for later and pass back remaining struct (now orsopy valid)
- resolve layers using orsopy and generate RAT-like layer parameters
- process the bilayer by using just lipid names, get parameters for 'Arwel' stype APM model from molgroups (for better or worse)
- put it all together:
- generate matlab script to define paramters, backgrounds, scalefactors etc
- generate custom file - this is always done even if the stack just consists of layers
- output the two MATLAB files to a directory with the data (.ort file)
- now we can run the MATLAB script file, creating a 'problem', plotting and generating the required .json files for a project
- now we can load the resulting project into RasCAL-2
