In the Chemotaxis plugin we must identify the names of the fields, where the field information is stored, the list of the generalized-cell types that will respond to the fields, and the strength and direction of the response (Lambda =  ). The information for each field is specified using the syntax:
In our current example, the first field, named ATTR, is stored in FlexibleDiffusionSolverFE. Macrophage cells are attracted to ATTR with  . None of the other cell types responds to ATTR. Similarly, Bacterium cells are repelled by REP with  .
Keep in mind that fields are not created within the Chemotaxis plugin, which only specifies how different cell types respond to the fields. We define and store the fields elsewhere. Here, we use the FlexibeDiffusionSolverFE steppable as the source of our fields. The FlexibleDiffusionSolverFE steppable is the main CompuCell3D tool for defining diffusing fields, which evolve according to the diffusion equation: Directory: BinDoc -> cc3d binaries -> Manuals Manuals -> 111Equation Chapter 1 Section 1 CompuCell3d reference Manual Version 4 Download 6.67 Mb.
