Post Processing

Post Processing

The postprocessing/ folder contains analysis and plotting utilities for simulation outputs in result_files/ (CSV, pickle, and VTK-derived signals).

Main Scripts

• focad_report.py
  • Loads simulation pickle data and exports focal adhesion metrics/polarity time series to CSV.
  • Builds summary tables (including last-20% statistics) and generates diagnostic plots.
• compare_linc_runs.py
  • Compares tagged LINC OFF/ON CSV outputs and produces comparison tables and figures.
• plot_boundary_results.py
  • Loads boundary-related outputs from pickle and produces force/position/shear visualizations.
• plot_diffusion_results.py
  • Demonstrates time-series plotting for concentration variables from VTK-derived datasets.

Typical Outputs

• Time-series CSV files for metrics and polarity indicators.
• Summary CSV files for run-level comparison.
• PNG figures for trends, diagnostics, and side-by-side run comparisons.

Recommended Usage

1. Run simulation and generate outputs in result_files/.
2. Use focad_report.py for baseline reports.
3. Use compare_linc_runs.py for condition-to-condition analysis.
4. Use boundary/diffusion plotting scripts for targeted diagnostics.
