Use new IES API

[tommyod]

Playing around with IES and trying to match it to the new API. Very much a draft PR.

Issue
Resolves #6474

Approach
Short description of the approach

(Screenshot of new behavior in GUI if applicable)

Pre review checklist

• Read through the code changes carefully after finishing work
• Make sure tests pass locally (after every commit!)
• Prepare changes in small commits for more convenient review (optional)
• PR title captures the intent of the changes, and is fitting for release notes.
• Updated documentation
• Ensured that unit tests are added for all new behavior (See
  Ground Rules),
  and changes to existing code have good test coverage.

Pre merge checklist

• Added appropriate release note label
• Commit history is consistent and clean, in line with the contribution guidelines.
