Detailed Description

This class takes care of loading cell models at run-time from .so files.

Instantiate it using the factory function Create with the path of a suitable .so file, then call CreateCell to create individual cells.

DynamicCellModelLoader::DynamicCellModelLoader ( const std::string &  rLoadableModulePath)
private

Private constructor to ensure we're always stored in a shared pointer.

Parameters
rLoadableModulePathpath to .so file

Member Function Documentation

DynamicCellModelLoaderPtr DynamicCellModelLoader::Create ( const std::string &  rLoadableModulePath)
static

Create a cell model loader by opening a loadable module (.so file) containing a cell model.

Note
The loader object must remain alive for as long as you want to use cells created with it, or you'll get a segfault. Hence the constructor is private, and this factory function must be used to create a loader.
Parameters
rLoadableModulePathpath to .so file
Returns
loader object

AbstractCardiacCellInterface * DynamicCellModelLoader::CreateCell ( boost::shared_ptr< AbstractIvpOdeSolver pSolver,
boost::shared_ptr< AbstractStimulusFunction pStimulus 
)
Returns
a newly created cardiac cell from this dynamic module.

The caller takes responsibility for deleting the cell when it's finished with.

Parameters
pSolverODE solver used to simulate the cell
pStimulusintracellular stimulus

const std::string DynamicCellModelLoader::GetLoadableModulePath ( ) const
Returns
the absolute path to the .so file we have loaded
