Integration with SBW

We have conducted a preliminary integration of CompuCell3D with

Systems Biology Workbench(SBW) to link to subcellular models. As a result users can select the level of detail in their models while working within a single integrated framework.

List of Movies (Note: simulator is an ODE solver of metabolic pathways):

• Movie 1:109 Cells and one simulator

• Movie 2:109 cells and 109 simulators (same initial conditions)

• Movie 3:109 cells and 109 simulators (different initial conditions)
