I am attempting to call a custom .so file that I have compiled with the provided script. I have used the following commands: 

--num_external_imp 1 

--external_imp[0] "./my_GPB.so" 

--imp_region[0].im "my_GPB"

However, with these commands I get an "unrecognized argument" error message that looks like this: (I will provide full output in the comments below)

error: unrecognized arguments: --num_external_imp 1 --external_imp[0] ./my_GPB.so --imp_region[0].im my_GPB

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

To load an external ionic model you should use: '-external_imp[Int]'. For more information you can refer to our online documentation openCARP parameters | openCARP or check the help from openCARP using openCARP +Help.

Cheers,

Jorge

Within carputils, I have been trying to use

cmd +=
[...,  
'--external_imp[0]', "./my_GPB.so"
 ,...]

Is this the wrong syntax?
by (19.1k points)
Hi,

it depends to which tool you want to provide the option. If it goes to openCARP directly, there is only one "-" (and not "--").
You can see an example here: https://git.opencarp.org/openCARP/experiments/-/blob/master/tutorials/02_EP_tissue/01_basic_usage/run.py#L221

tuneCV does not provide specific support for shared library ionic models but you can use the --CARP-opts parameter to pass them.

Loading external ionic models as a shared library is described in this example: https://opencarp.org/documentation/examples/01_ep_single_cell/04_limpet_fe#parameter-files
Tuning CV is introduced in this example: https://opencarp.org/documentation/examples/02_ep_tissue/03a_study_prep_tunecv

Hi Axel,

Thanks for getting back to me. Following your advice, I have used --CARP-opts to load the following options: -num_external_imp 1 -external_imp[0] ./my_GPB.so -imp_region[0].im my_GPB

The tuneCV log shows that these options were passed correctly into openCARP. However, I am getting back an L5 : Illegal IM specified: my_GPB error.

Is there anything else I should be doing? (For instance, modifying imp-lists.txt?) I have checked that my model loads correctly in bench, so it should not be a path issue...

Did you enable dynamic library support when building openCARP?

For CMake, this means to pass -DDLOPEN=ON when calling CMake. If you use the makefile, this means setting DLOPEN=1 in the my_switches.def file.
by (1.3k points)
This solved the problem! This was a mistake on my part - I had installed the openCARP binary without -DDLOPEN=ON.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I don't know it well but I had a look at tuneCV, and it seems that you can't call this script using an external ionic model.

I hope someone can help you more about it, but I think you should consider using the carp command in order to run your simulation.

Cheers,

Marie
