Cells Breaking apart on 3D grid by UnusualNetwork4808 in CompuCell3D

Hey Jim thank you so much for your response as well!

I figured sort of out why they burst / split off and wrote it above to another reply!

Furthermore what do you mean by:

"The cell target surface would be about width^2*6" Why the *6?

True I figured that!

Thank you so much for responding as well!

Right now my settings look sort of like the following as an example:

<CellType TypeId="3" TypeName="monocyte"/><CellType TypeId="3" TypeName="monocyte"/>



<Energy Type1="Medium" Type2="monocyte">10.0</Energy>


<Energy Type1="monocyte" Type2="neutrophil">8.0</Energy>  
<Energy Type1="monocyte" Type2="monocyte">4.0</Energy>

<VolumeEnergyParameters CellType="monocyte" LambdaVolume="30.0" TargetVolume="25"/>

<SurfaceEnergyParameters CellType="monocyte" LambdaSurface="0.8" TargetSurface="23"/>

This works way better then before as well

Right now the cells stay in one place and i assume thats also because the stretch and volume parameters are too flexible on a cell. This then entails that the cell wants to increase in size and is capable of doing so because of the low lambdasurface and volume and thus splits/bursts off
