Basic Mesher Example
The following example creates a myocardial slab of dimensions 0.05 x 0.6 x 0.3 cm immersed in a bath of 0.2 cm on each side:
$ mesher \
-size[0] 0.05 \
-size[1] 0.6 \
-size[2] 0.3 \
-bath[0] -0.2 \
-bath[1] -0.2 \
-bath[2] -0.2 \
-resolution[0] 100.0 \
-resolution[1] 100.0 \
-resolution[2] 100.0 \
-mesh block
By default, the geometry’s center is located at (0,0,0). As specified, the bounding box of the intracellular domain is
Bbox:
x: ( -250.00 , 250.00 ), delta 500.00
y: ( -3000.00 , 3000.00 ), delta 6000.00
z: ( -1500.00 , 1500.00 ), delta 3000.00
while the bounding box of the overall mesh is
Bbox:
x: ( -450.00 , 450.00 ), delta 900.00
y: ( -3200.00 , 3200.00 ), delta 6400.00
z: ( -1700.00 , 1700.00 ), delta 3400.00
Rule-based fibers can be added with the parameters in the fibers parameter structure.
In the previous example, fiber rotation can be added with:
$ mesher \
-size[0] 0.05 \
-size[1] 0.6 \
-size[2] 0.3 \
-bath[0] -0.02 \
-bath[1] -0.02 \
-bath[2] -0.02 \
-resolution[0] 100.0 \
-resolution[1] 100.0 \
-resolution[2] 100.0 \
-mesh block \
-fibers.rotEndo 60 \
-fibers.rotEpi -60 \
-fibers.sheetEndo 90 \
-fibers.sheetEpi 90
The resulting geometry is:
