Import

Import a project from the standard PhysiCell format (sample_projects or user_projects) into the PhysiCellModelManager.jl format.

PhysiCellModelManager.importProjectMethod
importProject(path_to_project::AbstractString[; src=Dict(), dest=Dict()])

Import a project from the structured in the format of PhysiCell sample projects and user projects into the PhysiCellModelManager.jl structure.

This function will create new directories every time it is called, even if the project was already imported. Copy the console output to your scripts to prepare inputs for running the imported project rather than repeatedly running this function.

Arguments

  • path_to_project::AbstractString: Path to the project to import. Relative paths are resolved from the current working directory where Julia was launched.

Keyword Arguments

  • src::Dict: Dictionary of the project sources to import. If absent, tries to use the default names.

The following keys are recognized: "config", "main", "makefile", "custom_modules", "rulesets_collection", "intracellular", "ic_cell", "ic_substrate", "ic_ecm", and "ic_dc".

  • dest::Dict: Dictionary of the inputs folders to create in the PhysiCellModelManager.jl structure. If absent, taken from the project name.

Any valid project location can be used as a key. For example, "config", "custom_code", "ic_cell", etc.

  • dest::AbstractString: If a single string is provided, it is used as the name of the folder to create in the inputs folder for all locations.

For both src and dest (as Dict), the key "rules" is an alias for "rulesets_collection".

Returns

An InputFolders instance with the paths to the imported project files. This can immediately be used to run simulations. However, do not use this function in a script as it will repeatedly create new folders each call.

Deprecated method

The following method is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Note that the arguments are optional, positional arguments, not keyword arguments.
