Method Detail

getStimulus

Stimulus getStimulus()

returns true if the node has an active stimulation scheme. Note that this is only possible if an object extends both DiffusiveNode and Stimulable, and has had a scheme attached.

getValue

double getValue(DiffusibleQuantity dq)

getAppliedValue

double getAppliedValue(DiffusibleQuantity dq)

setValue

void setValue(DiffusibleQuantity dq,
            double d)

setFlux

void setFlux(DiffusibleQuantity dq,
           double d)

getCapacitance

double getCapacitance(DiffusibleQuantity dq)

gets the capacitance of this node. Fo electrical diffusion this may be zero, since the capacitance is associated with the membrane, whereas for chemical diffusiion, the link capacitance would be zero, and the capacitance where would be related to the node volume.

Parameters:

dq - the diffusible quantity for which to get the capacitance.

getStructureNode

StructureNode getStructureNode()

gets the properties object holding the non-state information for this node

setStimulus

void setStimulus(Stimulus stim)
