Chaste (Cancer Heart And Soft Tissue Environment) is an open-source computational biology platform for cancer, heart, and soft tissue simulation, developed and maintained by the Chaste project team. Chaste provides:
- Cell-based simulation for modeling individual cell behaviors and tissue morphogenesis.
- Cardiac electrophysiology modeling for simulating heart electrical activity and action potentials.
- Continuum mechanics solving for solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and fluid-solid interaction problems.
- PDE and ODE solvers powered by SUNDIALS and PETSc for efficient numerical computation.
- Mesh generation and processing for complex geometric domains.
- Lung simulation for modeling respiratory physiology and airflow dynamics.
- MPI parallel computation via PETSc for large-scale distributed simulations.
- VTK visualization output for scientific data rendering and analysis.
- PyChaste Python interface for scripting and rapid prototyping.
- Crypt simulation for intestinal epithelial tissue modeling. Learn more at Chaste.

Usage
- Ensure that you have Docker installed, or are using Docker for Linux containers if on Windows.
- Obtain the Chaste docker image from DockerHub:
docker pull openeuler/chaste:{Tag} - Run the Docker container to launch the Chaste environment.
docker run -it openeuler/chaste:{Tag} - Verify the installation inside the container:
ls /opt/chaste/bin/ && ls /opt/chaste/lib/
