With Mesoderm Objective Parameters Movie Notes Graphs Objectives Index With Mesoderm Consider an elastic interface between the notochord and the adjacent sometic mesoderm for both polar and nonpolar cells. Bending 60.0000 Rigidity 1.0000 Shape 0.0010 Volume 1.0000 Weights for different contributions to the total energy relative to cell coupling. Bending of the sometic mesoderm boundary contributes elastic energy.
Normal coupling is augmented by the rigidity on the lateral surfaces of polar cells.
The temperature was equal to 16 for this simulation. These simulations include interaction between the notocord and the adjacent sometic mesoderm. Cell elongation enforced by moment of inertia constraint. This avoids inaccuracy resulting from failure to consider changes in binding over the entire cell membrane when cell orientation shifts slightly. The idea is to see what happens if the dynamics depend on exact calculation of the changes in energy between successive states.
