Computer Simulation Techniques for Shape Composition and Morphogenesis of Biologically Inspired Structures
Kristy S. Van Hornweder
In this report, a presentation of several computer simulations capable of generating biological-like structures is given. The discussion focuses on the general techniques used to create the simulations, and numerous examples and images of simulated structures. Several simulated cell behaviors will be noted, and the methods of modeling the cells and their environment will be discussed. Of particular interest is a simulator called CompuCell3D, which is an ongoing project that is capable of simulating the morphogenesis of relatively complex biological structures, including the avian limb.
