Description

Agent-Based Models (ABMs) allow researchers to describe complex cellular systems in a mechanistic manner but can also abstract over less-known processes.
It is often desirable to exchange only parts of the model eg. changing the spatial representation of cells from a spherical interaction potential to an elliptical.
Existing tools lack in flexibility and cannot change their internal representation of cells.
To solve these problems we created cellular_raza, a novel library that offers previously unknown flexibility in model design while retaining excellent performance.
