What CLARRHMOS does

CLARRHMOS consists of a set of programs, which are defined in this subsection.

CLARRHMOS

is the main simulation program. It reads the textfiles describing at least one cord model and one simulation environment and produces a simulation film. The simulation film is a computer representation of the state of the simulation cells, millisecond by millisecond (or, eventually, in coarser time units) for the whole simulation duration; it also includes the electrocardiogram on every lead which was defined in the simulation environment.

CLARRHVIEW

is the simulation film viewer. It lets the user see the simulation film on screen. It is a program of some complexity, as the computer screen is bidimensional, and the cord model is tridimensional, and as the user must be able to see only a selection of what actually resulted from the simulation.

It may be necessary for the user to also see, in dynamics, some other parameters than the cell state, such as the changes in conduction velocity in every cell.

CLARRHEDIT

is a graphic program for interactive editing of the cord models and of the simulation environments. In the first version of CLARRHMOS, it is replaced by hand editing the text files which describe these.
