FiberSim

FiberSim is software for spatially-explicit modeling of half-sarcomeres. The code tracks the position and status of each myosin head, each binding site on actin, and each molecule of myosin binding protein-C.

You need a Windows PC to run a simulation but you can analyze output from the model on any computer that has an Anaconda-based installation of Python.

Organization

The main components of the software are:

• FiberCpp - the core model that implements the calculations underlying the simulations.
  This software is written in C++ but is currently only compiled for Windows PCs.
• FiberPy - accessory code that makes it easier to run different types of simulations and analyze output.
  This component is written in Python.
