Direct Download - Version 2.2.0 * Win32 SOURCE ZIP * Win32 BINARIES ZIP * Win32 FAQ and Troubleshooting (most recent) TEXT Directions to Install and Run CompuCell3D Binaries for Windows 1. Download the .zip file for "Win32 BINARIES" above and save it to disk. 2. Right click on the .zip file, and highlight 'Extract All'. This should create a new directory CompuCell3D-binaries-Win32 in your current directory. Open this directory. 3. Double-click on the directory CompuCell3D-2.2.0-binaries-Win32. 4. If you already have Microsoft .NET installed on your machine skip to step 5. If you do not have Microsoft .NET installed on your machine, double click the icon 'dotnetfx.exe' and follow instructions from the Wizard. This will install .NET on your machine, subject to license restrictions governed by Microsoft. This is not our software, nor are we claiming it to be. This came from the website here . We have included it here for easy of use for TCBB reviewers. 5. You should see four '.bat' files entitled 'cellsort.bat', 'chicklimb.bat', 'chickgrowth.bat' and 'irregular.bat' corresponding to four morphogenesis simulations. 'chickgrowth.bat' corresponds to our validation simulation from the TCBB paper. 'irregular.bat' runs a simulation of a chickenlimb in an irregular domain. Double click on the icon corresponding to the simulation you wish to run.     Output will appear on the screen, similar to this screenshot. Click here for the starting correct outputs to validate your simulation is running properly: cellsort chicklimb chickgrowth irregular 6. After the simulation is finished, the Ogle visualization renderer will appear and visualize results, and will look like this screenshot. Click here for image results for validation purposes. cellsort chickenlimb chickgrowth irregular Click here for movie results for validation purposes, cellsort chickgrowth irregular Directions to Compile, Install and Run CompuCell3D Source for Windows 1.

Put Visual C++ in 'Release' mode (there is a small menu in the Visual C++ window that will either read 'Debug' or 'Release', it should read 'Release'). 7. Click on the 'Build' menu and highlight 'Rebuild Solution' to build everything from scratch. You may get some compilation warnings but that's okay. 8. Once it is finished building, go back to the CompuCell3D-2.2.0-win32 directory. You should see four '.bat' files entitled 'cellsort.bat', 'chicklimb.bat', 'chickgrowth.bat' and 'irregular.bat' corresponding to four morphogenesis simulations. 'chickgrowth.bat' corresponds to our validation simulation from the TCBB paper. 'irregular.bat' runs a simulation of a chicken limb on an irregular shaped grid. Double click on the icon corresponding to the simulation you wish to run.     Output will appear on the screen, similar to this screenshot. Click here for the starting correct outputs to validate your simulation is running properly: cellsort chicklimb chickgrowth irregular 9.
