Simucore model architecture

Simucore is a 2nd generation electrophysiological (EP) model architecture by Simulogic Inc.

Simucore models are based on a new modular design. Each model is assembled from several reusable components, such as Cell Geometry, Ion Concentrations, Currents, etc. This design is more robust and flexible than traditional "all in one" models because components are implemented and tested individually and then combined into the integrated model. In addition, Ca²⁺ Handling and Release components can be interchanged between different models, if required.

All Simulogic stock models have been ported to this new architecture. The individual model components and integrated models where thoroughly tested. These models are 100% compatible with CESE and provide the same user-friendly modeling experience you are used to.

We start with a model formulation in the original paper. Model equations are subdivided into ionic currents and (if present in the original formulation) Ca²⁺ release components which are implemented in Java source code. At the same time, base supporting components are integrated into model.

The model formulation is then verified against CellML and (if available) known source code implementations. All discrepancies between the original paper and published code are carefully tested and resolved.

Next, the model implementation undergoes a range of tests to ensure that action potential, ionic currents, and Ca²⁺ transient configurations match published data for the model.

During the last stage, model parameters are prepared for integration into the user-friendly CESE interface. Model is packaged and is ready to be shipped to you. Once received, it is simply dropped into the "models" directory in your CESE installation and is immediately ready for simulations.

We offer a collection of ready to run EP models based on Simucore architecture. In addition, we can create custom models based on your specification.
