Cell Environment
The CellEnvironment object sets the external temperature of the cell and defines the ions that are to be included in the simulation. Each ion has an id that is used by other components that need to refer to it. This block should contain all the ions that are referenced from other model components. At present, a reversal potential is directly associated with each ion. Future versions may implement the more realistic alternative of specifying internal and external solutions from which the reversal potential can be derived.

Standalone model |
The cell environment includes the temprature and a list of ions. For each ion the reveral potential should be set explicitly rather than providing internal and external solutions.
