count command

Syntax:

count species-ID N 

• species-ID = particle species to populate
• N = number of particles for stochastic models or concentration (molarity) for ODE models

Examples:

count Ca 1000
count receptor* 500 

Description:

Set the initial particle count for a non-spatial models. For stochastic models (Gillespie), N is the particle count. For deterministic models (ODEs), N is the particle concentration in molarity.

The species-ID can contain a single wildcard character * which will match species and alias names in the usual way. E.g. species-ID can be *, ab*, *ab, ab*cd.

Restrictions: none

This command can only be used for non-spatial simulations.

Default:

Count = 0 for all species.
