saenopy 1.0.4

Semi-elastic fiber optimisation in python.

SAENOPY

SAENOPY is a free open source 3D traction force microscopy software. Its material model is especially well suited for tissue-mimicking and typically highly non-linear biopolymer matrices such as collagen, fibrin, or Matrigel.

It features a python package to use in scripts and an extensive graphical user interface.

Check out our Documentation on how to install and use it.

Installation

Standalone

To use saenopy without a complicated installation you can use our standalone binaries to get started right away on Windows or Linux.

Windows https://github.com/rgerum/saenopy/releases/download/v1.0.3/saenopy.exe

Linux https://github.com/rgerum/saenopy/releases/download/v1.0.3/saenopy

Using Python

If you are experienced with python or even want to use our Python API, you need to install saenopy as a python package. Saenopy can be installed directly using pip:

``pip install saenopy``

Now you can start the user interface with:

``saenopy``

Getting started
