Introduction
This model shows a simulation of a growing cell population, using the cellular Potts model.
Description
The model specifies CellType
which has a VolumeConstraint
and a Proliferation
plugin.
In the Proliferation
plugin, the Conditions
for a cell to divide are given. Here, each cell that has more than 90% of the target volume has a small probability to divide. Once a division has taken place, the Equation
defined in the Triggers
elements are triggered.
