Detailed Description

Generator of honeycomb meshes, used as starting points for many simulations.

This class takes in options such as width, height, number of ghost nodes and generates a honeycomb mesh (with equal distance between nodes), and ghost node information when requested.

NOTE: the user should delete the mesh after use to manage memory.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HoneycombMeshGenerator::HoneycombMeshGenerator ( unsigned  numNodesAlongWidth,
unsigned  numNodesAlongLength,
unsigned  ghosts = 3,
bool  cylindrical = true,
double  scaleFactor = 1.0 
)

Crypt Periodic Honeycomb Mesh Generator

Overwritten constructor for a mesh so mesh can be compressed by changing crypt width

Parameters:
numNodesAlongWidth The number of stem cells you want,
numNodesAlongLength The number of cells you want along crypt axis,
ghosts The thickness of ghost nodes to put around the edge (defaults to 3),
cylindrical Whether the mesh should be cylindrically periodic (defaults to true),
scaleFactor The scale factor for the width (circumference) of the cells.
Note: this class creates a cancer params instance and sets the crypt width and length accordingly in the parameters class to be used elsewhere.
