Muscle.generate_muscle_fiber_centers()[source]#

Generate muscle fiber center positions using a pre-computed Voronoi distribution.

This method creates the spatial distribution of muscle fiber centers within the circular muscle cross-section. The distribution is based on a Voronoi tessellation pattern that mimics the natural packing of muscle fibers observed in histological studies.

Results are stored in the following properties after execution:

  • mf_centers: Array of shape (n_fibers, 2) with fiber positions [x, y] in mm

  • number_of_muscle_fibers: Total number of muscle fibers

  • muscle_border: Array of border points for visualization

Notes

This method should be called after distribute_innervation_centers() and before assign_mfs2mns(). The Voronoi-based distribution provides more realistic fiber spacing compared to regular grids or purely random distributions.

The reference dataset (‘voronoi_pi1e5.csv’) contains 100,000 pre-computed Voronoi cell centers optimized for circular domains, ensuring efficient and consistent fiber distributions across simulations.

Return type:

None
