Function Documentation

◆ block_bc_opencarp()

def carputils.mesh.block.block_bc_opencarp	(	block,
		entity,
		index,
		coord,
		lower = `True`,
		bath = `False`,
		verbose = `False`
	)

Does the same thing as block_boundary_condition, but for the new stim struct introduced in openCARP.

Given a :class:Block, generate a set of openCARP options defining a boundary condition on one of the faces of the mesh. The face at the lower or upper bound of the specified coordinate is 'encased' in a box surrounding the selected surface at half its resolution.

Parameters

block	Block The geometry to generate boundary conditions for
entity	str The openCARP boundary condition type to use (e.g. 'stimulus')
index	int The boundary condition index
coord	str The direction perpendicular to which the BC is generated. One of ('x', 'y', 'z').
lower	bool, optional True if to generate BC at lower bound of coord (default), False for upper bound
bath	bool, optional Generate BC at bounds of tissue+bath if True, tissue only otherwise (default) verbose : bool, optional True to print summary of generated parameters to stdout

Returns: list openCARP command line options to set up boundary condition.

◆ block_boundary_condition()

def carputils.mesh.block.block_boundary_condition	(	block,
		entity,
		index,
		coord,
		lower = `True`,
		bath = `False`,
		verbose = `False`
	)

◆ block_region()

def carputils.mesh.block.block_region	(	block,
		entity,
		index,
		low,
		up,
		bath = `False`,
		verbose = `False`
	)

Generate a boundary condition definition for a :class:Block.

Given a :class:Block, generate a set of openCARP options defining a block-shaped region on a given domain low and up specify lower and upper coordinates of the block region.

For example, for the default origin-centred box of size (1,1,1) and resolution 0.1:

>>> geom = Block()

calling :func:block_region with low ='[-0.5, -0.5 -0.5]' and up='[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]':

>>> block_region(geom, 'stimulus', 0, low, up, False)

will generate a stimulus block definition for -0.5<=x<=0., -0.5<=y<=0. and -0.5<=z<=0.0.
