Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class VertexCryptBoundaryForce< DIM >

A boundary force class for use in vertex-based crypt simulations to prevent cells moving below the bottom of the crypt (y=0).

The boundary force is taken to be zero for y>0, and proportional to y^2 for y<0 (hence is continuously differentiable at y=0). The constant of proportionality is given by the parameter mForceStrength, whose value is set in the constructor.

void VertexCryptBoundaryForce< DIM >::AddForceContribution	(	std::vector< c_vector< double, DIM > > &	rForces,
		AbstractCellPopulation< DIM > &	rCellPopulation
	)			[inline, virtual]

Overridden AddForceContribution() method.

Calculates the boundary force on each node in the vertex-based cell population.

Parameters:

	rForces	reference to vector of forces on nodes
	rCellPopulation	reference to the cell population

Implements AbstractForce< DIM >.
