The diameter at the middle of each compartment in this section.
The diameter at the end of each compartment in this section.
The geometry-dependent term to calculate the conductance between the start and the midpoint of each compartment.
The geometry-dependent term to calculate the conductance between the midpoint and the end of each compartment.
The diameter at the start of each compartment in this section.
The volume of each compartment in this section.

Details
- area
The membrane surface area of each compartment in this section. The surface area of each compartment is calculated as \(\pi d l\), where \(l\) is the length of the compartment, and \(d\) is its diameter. Note that this surface area does not contain the area of the two disks at the two sides of the cylinder.
- diameter
The diameter at the middle of each compartment in this section.
- end_diameter
The diameter at the end of each compartment in this section.
- r_length_1
The geometry-dependent term to calculate the conductance between the start and the midpoint of each compartment. Dividing this value by the Intracellular resistivity gives the conductance.
- r_length_2
The geometry-dependent term to calculate the conductance between the midpoint and the end of each compartment. Dividing this value by the Intracellular resistivity gives the conductance.
- start_diameter
The diameter at the start of each compartment in this section.
- volume
The volume of each compartment in this section. The volume of each compartment is calculated as \(\pi \frac{d}{2}^2 l\) , where \(l\) is the length of the compartment, and \(d\) is its diameter.
