Surface and Cell Contact

By controlling a cell’s surface, you can adjust the amount of perimeter it exposes to neighbors or the Medium. We recommend to always add the Contact plugin when creating a new simulation.

Properties

cell.targetSurface: the “goal” surface that a cell tries to reshape itself to whenever possible. For roughly square or blob-shaped cells, targetSurface would be 4*sqrt(targetVolume).

cell.lambdaSurface: the strength of the surface constraint; that is, how quickly a cell will reshape itself to meet its targetSurface.
