Workshop on GFtbox
Exercise
The aim is to practice modelling growth using as many features of the GFtbox as sensible. The challenge is to model the early development of the mouse heart from a simple tube to stage E9.5. By this stage the tube has grown, twisted through 90 degrees, bent and started to balloon and form the atrial and ventricular surfaces. The deformations might arise from an evolving pattern of isotropic specified growth or might arise from anisotropic specified growth. It is not known.
In the wind-up session, groups will be invited to describe their successes and failures and there will be votes for the best, the wackiest and the worst models.
