Minutes 2 October 2006

Present: Travis, Karl, Jagir, Shane.

An "audio recording":ftp://ftp.bioeng.auckland.ac.nz/cmiss/opencmiss/meeting-2006-10-02.ogg is available.

Example framework

• coming together.

Cellml incorporation.

• Jagir been looking at cellml code generator.
• Travis has a paper that describes how operator-splitting is done in cm.
• Does the cell model need to be dlopen'ed?
  • dlopen provides a way to deal with namespaces when there is more than one model for more than one type of cell.
    • Could redefine function names at compile time if linked in statically.
  • Not important right now as model distribution can be available at compile time.
• Variation in cell parameters through space will be required.

Bidomain class

• Travis looking at making a bidomain class (in the same way as Navier-Stokes has a class in libMesh).
  • Would set up transmembrane and extracellular potential variables and provide a way of solving it.

Demo

• Shane suggested a gui for a demo of code using libMesh.
  • Would provide interfaces to change some parameters and re-solve.
