ASCENT (Automated Simulations to Characterize Electrical Nerve Thresholds): A pipeline for sample-specific computational modeling of electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves
v1.0.3 -> v1.1.0: new features
• Added runtime saving controls
• Added the ability to save action potential times at specified points along fibers
• Added the ability to generate plots in a folder instead of a popup window. Also added more options for plotting.
• Updated deformation logic to allow for deform_ratio=0 (no change to nerve trace but ensures fascicle separation)
• Installation will now generate directories required to set up ascent runs automatically
• Documentation is now hosted on Read the Docs, and part of the repo
• Added troubleshlooting guide to documentation
• Added image preprocessing option to Sample
• Added fascicle and nerve smoothing options to Sample
• Added welcome message to run script
v1.0.2 -> v1.0.3: bug fixes
• Fixed issues with cuff rotation logic and added “fixed_point” parameter to cuff configuration files
• Modified print statements to be more informative
• Fixed bug where sample centering was slightly off center
• Sample.py now checks that only one object is present in the orientation mask
• Changed COMSOL interpolation curve type from “open” to “closed”
• Fixed perineurium generation for Mask Input Mode = “INNERS” to use effective circular diameter instead of average radius
• Added check to ensure all morphology masks have the same dimensions
• Fixed bug where submit would always check for scout sims if the parameter was present
• Fixed issue where super sampling would cause an error
• Fixed errors with installation script and added requirements.txt file for pip
• Will now check that the pipeline is running in the ASCENT environment
• Archived cuffs that are no longer needed
