Detailed Description

This class represents a fake cell for use within the bath of a bidomain simulation.

Note:
Note that only a portion of the normal functionality of a cardiac cell is actually redefined in this class. If further calls to cardiac cells are later added to the simulation process, additional overrides may need to be added here.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FakeBathCell::FakeBathCell ( boost::shared_ptr< AbstractIvpOdeSolver pSolver,
boost::shared_ptr< AbstractStimulusFunction pIntracellularStimulus 
)

Constructor uses the same signature as normal cells, for convenience.

Parameters:
pSolver unused
pIntracellularStimulus unused

FakeBathCell::~FakeBathCell (  ) 

Destructor; does nothing.

Member Function Documentation

void FakeBathCell::EvaluateYDerivatives ( double  time,
const std::vector< double > &  rY,
std::vector< double > &  rDY 
) [virtual]

This method is pure in a base class, so we need it, but we never use it. It has an empty body.

Parameters:
time unused
rY unused
rDY unused

Implements AbstractOdeSystem.

Definition at line 45 of file FakeBathCell.cpp.

double FakeBathCell::GetIIonic (  )  [virtual]

Fake cells have no transmembrane currents, so this method always returns 0.

Implements AbstractCardiacCell.

Definition at line 49 of file FakeBathCell.cpp.

void FakeBathCell::ComputeExceptVoltage ( double  tStart,
double  tEnd 
) [virtual]

There isn't really a cell here, so we override this method to do nothing.

Parameters:
tStart unused
tEnd unused

Reimplemented from AbstractCardiacCell.
