Biomass transfer

Models supporting biomass transfer can be instructed to move a fixed amount of biomass to a new medium after a period of time. This feature replicates a procedure occurring in e.g. Lemna effect studies and may be necessary to recreate study results.

The biomass transfer feature assumes that always a fixed amount of biomass is transferred. Transfers can occur at any fixed point in time or in regular intervals. During a transfer, the biomass is reset to the transferred amount and additional compartments can be scaled 1:1 accordingly, to e.g. reflect the change in internal toxicant mass when biomass is modified. Transfer settings can be modified using set_transfer().

Any transfer time point must also be an output time point. If a transfer occurs, simulation results of that time point will report the model state before the transfer. Be aware that in order to use transfers at regular intervals, the simulation must start at time point zero.
