simulate single cell with stimulate

Question

Dear devs,

I 'm trying to simulate single cells. Can I diversify the stimulation applied to the cells like in the example cd ${TUTORIALS}/02_EP_tissue/02_stimulation? Or can I use bench to define two types of stimuli simultaneously. Also, how can I observe changes in ion concentration and gating properties?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

Absolutely!

Those functions are documented in the openCARP user manual in the section on bench (chapter 8): https://opencarp.org/documentation/user-manual

The --validate flag will output the time courses for all state variables.

The --stim-file flag allows you to input arbitrary complex stimuli

Comments

Dear devs,
Can you please give me a little more detail about --stim-file  or give me an example?
Whether this instruction can produce the S1S2 stimulus which mentioned in 01_EP_single_cell/02B_APD_restitution?
Any help or ideas would be appreciated, thank you!
