Saving a video of the model during the simulation (Save Video)
If the option
Save Video is enabled, then after the simulation is completed, in the results directory you will have a folder called Video.
In this folder, for each substrate of the model there will be its own video, which will display cells and only the substrate with a name similar to the name of the video.
Note
In the video, cells are drawn in the color you set for them, and substrates are always depicted as red squares.
The more substrate there is in a certain space cell of the environment, the brighter shade of red it will be painted (drawn relative to the space cell with the maximum substrate content at the moment).
The number of frames in each video will depend on the values of the Max Time and Image interval parameters (see example below).
Image interval = 20 (frames are saved every 20 model time units).
Max Time = 1000 (simulation lasts for 1000 model time units).
Frames in the video will be generated for the following time points during the model simulation:
- 0,
- 20,
- 40,
- 60,
- ...,
- ...,
- ...,
- 1000.
An example of such a video is presented below.
Note
The upper right part of the video indicates how many time units after the start of the simulation a certain frame was generated (Time), how many cells are in the model (Cells), and along which slice of external space along the Z axis this frame was taken (Z).
Warning
When using the Standalone version of BioUML, when exporting video you must specify the extension (.mp4) in the file name, otherwise the file is exported without an extension.
