ECM Initial Conditions

createICECMXMLTemplate(folder::String)

Create folder with a template XML file for IC ECM.

See the PhysiCellECMCreator.jl documentation for more information on IC ECM and how this function works outside of pcvct. This pcvct function runs the createICECMXMLTemplate function from PhysiCellECMCreator.jl and then updates the database. Furthermore, the folder can be passed in just as the name of the folder located in data/inputs/ics/ecms/ rather than the full path.

This functionality is run outside of a PhysiCell runtime. It will not work in PhysiCell! This function creates a template XML file for IC ECM, showing all the current functionality of this initialization scheme. The ID attribute in patch elements is there to allow variations to target specific patches within a layer. Manually maintain these or you will not be able to vary specific patches effectively.

Each time a simulation is run that is using a ecm.xml file, a new CSV file will be created. These will all be stored with data/inputs/ics/ecms/folder/ic_ecm_variations as ic_ecm_variation_#_s#.csv where the first # is the variation ID associated with variation on the XML file and the second # is the simulation ID. Importantly, no two simulations will use the same CSV file.
