Greetings!
I am trying to simulate the influence of different micro-scaffold geometries on cell behavior. So, I need to import the scaffold geometry into the platform before seeding it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
If you mean a scaffold for a non-diffusing field, we'd have a work harder on this. We'd need to load it from a file an manually write it to your mesh locations. setup_microenvironment() is the ideal place to do that.
note taht we do ahve a way to load matlab files directly, so you could use that to load the data (saved as a mat file), adn then manually write to your voxels.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello!
We are working on a new feature for 1.8.0 that wll allow you to import a CSV for cell positions.
If you can write a text file where each line is one cell:
x,y,z,type
x = x position
y = y position
z = z position
type = index of one of your cell definitions
Then we can have PhysiCell place these cells.
Have a look for the following function (defined in modules/PhysiCell_geometry.h):
void load_cells_csv( std::string filename );
If you place this in setup_tissue(), it shoudl do the trick!
Thanks!
