Open". (3) Drag the contents of the workbook into the Chameleon app. Just click on the selected text in the new browser window, and drag it anywhere within the Chameleon window. An SVG image should appear in its own window. (4) Click the "Refresh" button in the Chameleon window. Explore the model to confirm that it has the same structure that's specified on this page. Click the "Start" button to start the simulation. Use the "Pause" and "Step" buttons to pause, unpause, and single-step the simulation. (5) Expand the View node, and click the xYChart node to display a line chart. By default, the simulation uses Mass Action kinetics (kineticsType="2"). Each Transition node has a reaction rate k which is defined once at the PetriNet level. You can also give each Transition a separate k value. The PetriNet node also specifies a timeStepMultiplier of 4, which provides a simple way of doing mathematical integration. Each time step the transitions execute 4 times, but each transition only does 1/4 of its normal work. With a timeStepMultiplier of 1 and the default value for k, the model will blow up because of extreme oscillation of the token values on Place nodes:: Try timeStepMultiplier values of 1, 2, and 3. You can also run the model as a normal Petri net without Mass Action kinetics:: Change kineticsType="2" to kineticsType="1" on the PetriNet node. Leave the probability set to 0.5 (p="0.5") for a stochastic Petri net, or change it to 1.0 (p="1.0") for a completely deterministic Petri net. Change timeStepMultiplier to 1. The places and transitions of the Petri net can also get their kinetics by moving around in a Grid and interacting only when they bump into each other:: Change the kinetics type to 3 (kineticsType="3") on the PetriNet node. Change timeStepMultiplier to 1. Change QueueTransitions shouldAct="true" to shouldAct="false", to prevent the normal Petri net behavior from also running. The Cytoplasm node specifies the number or rows (rows="20") and columns (cols="20") in the Grid. You can change these. The more rows and columns, the more dilute the solution, and the longer it will take for things to happen. The line charts generated with each of these options are qualitatively and quantitatively similar in some ways. ]]> <_-.XholonClass> ]]>${MODELNAME_DEFAULT},${SVGURI_DEFAULT}
