8.7. pyafv.target_delta
- target_delta(params, target_force)[source]
Given the physical parameters and a target detachment force, compute the corresponding delta.
- Parameters:
params (PhysicalParams) – Physical parameters of the AFV model.
target_force (float) – Target detachment force.
- Raises:
TypeError – If params is not an instance of
PhysicalParams.ValueError – If the target force is not within the achievable range.
- Returns:
Corresponding value of the truncation threshold \(\delta\).
- Return type:
Note
We search for the cell-cell separation at which the intercellular force equals the target force, scanning distances from \(10^{-6}\ell\) to \((2-10^{-6})\ell\) in steps of \(10^{-6}\ell\), and select the largest distance at which the match occurs.
