This is the simulation tool for tracking assemblies of microtubules driven by motor proteins. Microtubules are modeled as straight rigid fibers and motor proteins are modeled as Hookean-springs with active binding-unbinding dynamics governed by a two-stage kinetic Monte-Carlo model to impose detailed balance. A state-of-the-art collision resolution algorithm based on geometrically constrained optimization is incorporated to reach long physical dynamics timescales. This package is massively parallel.
