Welcome to the Chaste wiki.

Before running these examples you will need to [wiki:InstallGuides/InstallGuide] and the source code for version 3.3. The easiest way to do this is using an Ubuntu machine (or an Ubuntu virtual machine) as discussed on InstallGuides/UbuntuPackage. Note that cardiac Chaste is not supported on Windows, so users of Windows will need to follow the virtual machine route. For manual installation of each dependency, on any version of Linux, see DeveloperInstallGuide.
The simulations featured in the paper supplement are explained and annotated below. For further information on using Chaste to solve these and related problems, see our [wiki:ChasteGuides].
If you wish to install Chaste direct from our repository, you may do so from the command line as follows:
(replacing "`<path></path>`" with the filepath to where you have installed Chaste). Now unzip the downloaded `MouseLesion.tar.gz` into this folder.
To compile the simulators, use:
The steps required to reproduce the study are:
To vary parameters and run simulations for the results shown in the paper, use the script `run_lesion_simulations.sh` and then (when they have finished) `collate_lesion_results.sh`, followed by the matlab script `test/data/processing_scripts/process_APs_capacitance.m` to do the post-processing.
