MEDYAN.set_time!

set_time!(c::MEDYAN.Context, x::Float64) -> Float64

Time (s)

MEDYAN.set_enable_cylinder_volume_exclusion!

set_enable_cylinder_volume_exclusion!(
    c::MEDYAN.Context,
    x::Bool
) -> Bool

Are cylinder volume exclusion forces calculated.

MEDYAN.set_chemboundary!

set_chemboundary!(
    c::MEDYAN.Context;
    meshindex_as_chemboundary,
    kwargs...
) -> MEDYAN.Boundary

Set chemical boundary and update compartment volumes and diffusion rates. Note, the chemboundary should be outside the mechboundary so that it is rare for filaments to go outside the chemboundary.

Calling this will invalidate the chem cache.

Keywords

  • planes::Vector{SVector{4,Float64}} = []

Planes that make up the chemical boundary of the simulation

inside = signbit(pos ⋅ planes[bi][1:3] - planes[bi][4])

For example, a plane [1,0,0,3] is inside if x < 3 nm.

2.0*[1,0,0,3] is also inside if x < 3 nm.

  • capsules::Vector{SVector{8,Float64}} = []

Capsules that make up the chemical boundary of the simulation.

capsules[bi][1:3] is the starting point of the spine line segment (nm). capsules[bi][4:6] is the axis of the spine line segment (nm). capsules[bi][7] is the radius (nm). capsules[bi][8] is ignored.

if capsules[bi][4:6] is zero then the capsule is a sphere. Capsule boundaries can be combined with plane boundaries to create cylinder boundaries.

  • meshindex_as_chemboundary::Int = 0: Index of membrane mesh that further restricts the chem boundary. 0 for none.

The system geometry information must be up-to-date. This mesh index is not stored in the boundary object, but is directly set in the context.

MEDYAN.set_mechboundary!

set_mechboundary!(
    c::MEDYAN.Context;
    kwargs...
) -> MEDYAN.Boundary

MEDYAN.adddiffusingcount_rand!

adddiffusingcount_rand!(c::Context, dsid, inccount)

  • inccount: amount to add.

MEDYAN.addmembranediffusingcount_rand!

addmembranediffusingcount_rand!(
    c::MEDYAN.Context,
    membraneindex::Int64,
    speciesindex::Int64,
    addcount::Int64
)

Distribute the added membrane species count randomly to membrane cells, ignoring cell area difference. Does NOT update propensity.

MEDYAN.run_chemistry!

run_chemistry!(c::Context, Δt)

Run chemistry for Δt time.

Update c.time.

MEDYAN.defer_chem_caching!

defer_chem_caching!(c::Context)::Nothing

This should only be used for advanced optimizations.

During chemistry, the context mutating functions will typically try to avoid invalidating various cached data needed to quickly sample sites.

However, if you want to mutate the context outside of chemistry, for example right before or after minimization, you may not want to pay the cost of revalidating all the caches because minimization will already invalidate the caches. Caching will be enabled again and caches will be made valid the next time chemistry is run. Caching can also be manually refreshed and reenabled with: refresh_chem_cache!

MEDYAN.refresh_chem_cache!

refresh_chem_cache!(c::Context)::Nothing

Normally this isn’t needed as it will happen automatically.

MEDYAN.is_chem_cache_valid

is_chem_cache_valid(c::Context)::Bool

Return true if the chemistry cache is valid, false otherwise.

Base.empty!

empty!(c::Context)

Remove all filaments, membranes, links, diffusing species, fixed species, bulk species, chemboundary, and mechboundary.

MEDYAN.newmembrane!

newmembrane!(c::MEDYAN.Context; type, meshinit)

Add a new membrane to the system.
