Interest in PyVCell for PDE-guided models and question about documentation / possible contributions #34

Hi,

I have recently been exploring VCell-fvsolver / PyVCell and find the framework very interesting for reaction–diffusion simulations.

I have been calling the Python package to simulate cellular state dynamics and using the resulting PDE predictions as a form of physical guidance in some deep learning / generative AI models.

While going through the examples, documentation, and existing issues, I noticed that some parts of the PyVCell documentation are still marked as "coming soon". In particular, I could not find much detailed information about:

  • PDE solver parameters and numerical configuration
  • approaches for testing or validating PDE simulations

I also noticed some discussions in existing issues related to expression translation and result processing between languages. This made me wonder whether parts of the Python-side interface or data handling are still evolving.

I would be very interested in helping improve documentation or contributing to areas related to PDE parameter handling, testing, or Python interface clarity if that would be useful.

Please let me know if there are specific parts of the project where contributions would be particularly helpful.

Thanks for maintaining this project — it looks like a very powerful tool for computational cell modeling.
