Detailed Description

template<unsigned ELEMENT_DIM, unsigned SPACE_DIM = ELEMENT_DIM>
class AbstractStimulusFactory< ELEMENT_DIM, SPACE_DIM >

Abstract class that specifies a stimulus factory. The core method is CreateStimulusForNode which creates a stimulus object at each node in the mesh. The default implementation (here) specifies a ZeroStimulus. child classes may override this method.

The other crucial method is SetCompatibleExtracellularStimulus which ensures that the stimulus specified obeys compatibility conditions. The implementation here is empty (compatible with ZeroStimulus which implicitly obeys compatibility conditions). child classes may over-ride the method.
