I have started using this alongside my work using COR (Cellular Open Resource) and have a few initial comments:-
First of all great that you have got this going over there, Andrew, and I didn't come across any glaring bugs and it ran the simulations I tested fine. Great work! A lot of my comments I'm a little concerned may seem a bit nitpicky but here goes:- My initial response was that user friendliness could be improved a little. I like to be able to open up software and it be obvious what you do to get things going. I had to study the tutorial/manual carefully to get the understanding I needed. That's fine and probably me being lazy but it is a personal preference/luxury. Linking data lines to models and then cloning in order to be able to do different runs seems quite cumbersome and also then not being able to save what you have done etc. this is similar to comments made by Jonna. The simulations seemed to run fairly slowly. (Slower than my experience with running similar simulations using COR) I also had a similar issue finding and selecting variables. I know COR has a way of selecting out variables from constants etc. The mapping of variables in CellML is kind of a nuisance and of course necessary! A graphical way of doing it would be great. I have used an older piece of software that enabled this but had a lot of other issues associated with it. I am also curious to know what is planned in the future for PCEnv in relation to editing and visualising the CellML. Thank you. Regards, Penny Noble
