Detailed Description

A class which encapsulates the executable functionality.

Takes in a chaste parameters XML file and runs the relevant simulation.

The XML Schema, which describes what is allowed in the XML configuration file, can be found at heart/src/io/ChasteParameters_2_0.xsd (for Chaste release 2.0). It contains documentation describing what settings are available. The documentation of the HeartConfig class may also be of use.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CardiacSimulation::CardiacSimulation ( std::string  parameterFileName  ) 

Constructor

This also runs the simulation immediately.

Parameters:
parameterFileName The name of the chaste parameters xml file to use to run a simulation (not mandatory since HeartConfig may be set by hand)

Definition at line 233 of file CardiacSimulation.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

std::string CardiacSimulation::BoolToString ( bool  yesNo  )  [private]

Convert a boolean to a "yes" or "no" string.

Parameters:
yesNo

template<class Problem , unsigned SPACE_DIM>
void CardiacSimulation::CreateAndRun (  )  [inline, private]

Templated method which creates and runs a cardiac simulation, based on the XML file passed to our constructor.

Definition at line 77 of file CardiacSimulation.hpp.

void CardiacSimulation::CreateResumeXmlFile ( const std::string &  rOutputDirectory,
const std::string &  rArchiveDirectory 
) [private]

Write a ResumeParameters.xml file to the checkpoint directory, to help users in resuming a checkpointed simulation. If the contents of rOutputDirectory are copied to CHASTE_TEST_OUTPUT, and ResumeParameters.xml edited to specify a sensible simulation duration, then it can be used as the input parameters file to resume from the given checkpoint.

Parameters:
rOutputDirectory the directory to put the XML file in
rArchiveDirectory the relative path from this directory to the archive directory

void CardiacSimulation::ReadParametersFromFile ( std::string  parameterFileName  )  [private]

Read parameters from the HeartConfig XML file.

Parameters:
parameterFileName a string containing the chaste simulation parameters XML file name.

void CardiacSimulation::Run (  )  [private]

Run the simulation. This method basically contains switches on the problem type and space dimension, and calls CreateAndRun() to do the work.
