pyvcell
This is the python wrapper for vcell modeling and simulation for
- local scripting of spatial modeling, simulation, data analysis and visualization workflows using Virtual Cell technology
- access to Virtual Cell remote APIs - with public access or as an authenticated Virtual Cell user.
Local simulation, analysis and visualization with pyvcell
download or create new spatial models
- load/save VCML (Virtual Cell’s native format - import/export to VCell UI)
- load/save SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language)
- load from Antimony (friendly textual language for SBML)
- create/edit any VCML object (e.g. species, model, geometry) programmatically
local editing with Python objects
- edit parameters. add/remove/edit species, compartments, reactions, initial conditions, diffusion coefficients
- create/edit geometry objects, create/edit vcell applications and simulations
run local simulations
- run local spatial simulations (for reactions, diffusion, and advection) stored in local workspace.
analyze local simulation result:
- Time-series summary statistics available as NumPy arrays.
- spatiotemporal arrays stored as Zarr datastores and available as NumPy arrays.
- 3D mesh data using VTK unstructured grids, analyzed with VTK
local visualization
- built-in plotting and 3D visualization via Matplotlib and VTK/PyVista
- make your own plots or 3D renderings.
installation
The easiest way to install pyvcell is by using the Python Package Index and pip. We highly recommend setting up a virtual environment for dependency management. Run the following command to install pyvcell from PyPI
pip install pyvcell
Usage
import pyvcell.vcml as vc
biomodel = vc.load_vcml_file('path/to/your/model.vcml')
results = vc.simulate(biomodel, "sim1")
results.plotter.plot_concentrations()
