Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class CardiacElectroMechanicsProblem< DIM >

CardiacElectroMechanicsProblem

For solving full electro-mechanical problems.

Solves a monodomain problem (diffusion plus cell models) on a (fine) electrics mesh, and a mechanics problem (finite elasticity plus contraction model) on a coarse mesh. An implicit scheme (Jon Whiteley's algorithm) be be used.

For solving problems on regular grids use CardiacElectroMechProbRegularGeom

The implicit algorithm:

Store the position in the electrics mesh of each quad point in the mechanics mesh For every time: Solve the monodomain problem (ie integrate ODEs, solve PDE) Get intracellular [Ca] at each electrics node and interpolate on each mechanics quad point Set [Ca] on each contraction model (one for each point) Solve static finite elasticity problem implicity

Note: invC is not used in the monodomain equations (code added but commented out) we have shown that this does not affect the mechanics results (might affect the electrics).

void CardiacElectroMechanicsProblem< DIM >::SetWatchedPosition ( c_vector< double, DIM >  watchedLocation  )  [inline]

Set a location to be watched - for which lots of output is given. Should correspond to nodes in both meshes.

The watched file will have rows that look like: time x_pos y_pos [z_pos] voltage Ca_i_conc.

NOTE: for the Calcium - assumes LUO_RUDY IS USED

Parameters:
watchedLocation location (x,y,z) in space. Watched node is the closest to this point.

void CardiacElectroMechanicsProblem< DIM >::SetVariableFibreSheetDirectionsFile ( std::string  orthoFile,
bool  definedPerQuadPoint 
) [inline]

Set a variable fibre-sheet-normal direction (matrices), from file. If the second parameter is false, there should be one fibre-sheet definition for each element; otherwise there should be one fibre-sheet definition for each *quadrature point* in the mesh. In the first case, the file should be a .ortho file (ie each line has the fibre dir, sheet dir, normal dir for that element), in the second it should have .orthoquad as the format.

Parameters:
orthoFile the file containing the fibre/sheet directions
definedPerQuadPoint whether the fibre-sheet definitions are for each quadrature point in the mesh (if not, one for each element is assumed).

void CardiacElectroMechanicsProblem< DIM >::UseMechanoElectricFeedback (  )  [inline]

By default (at the moment), the deformation does not affect the electrophysiology in any way. Call this to allow it to, then (i) the stretch will be passed back to the cell models for use stretch-activated channels etc (ii) (The other way the deformation should affect the electrophy, altered conductivities, has not yet been implemented)

Two things to note: (i) this can't be called if fibre-sheet directions have been defined from file for each quadrature point (as opposed to each mechanics element) - this is because if the stretch is to be passed back to the electric mesh nodes, the fibre direction has to be defined at those nodes (ii) currently the set-up stage (computing mechanics mesh elements and weights for electrics mesh nodes) is inefficiently implemented - setup will be very slow for big meshes
