Version
No version info

Distribution method
Free. I am not sure if it is open source because I could not find source file.

About
* Developed by Department of Biotechnology, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
* Written in java
* Nice and easy to use
* The framework also has functions for output of biofilm structure representations using POVRAY. The POVRAY program is available for download at www.povray.org.

Program Architecture

Class diagram (UML) for biomass species, particulate species, solute species and reactions, which constitutes the basic structure for the mass balances in the biofilm-modelling framework. The generality of the framework allows for arbitrary numbers of species and reactions to be defined, providing the infrastructure for the creation of 2D/3D biofilm models with any type of microbe/chemicals interactions.

Class diagram (UML) for all classes used by the multigrid solver implementing relative diffusivity values (RelativeDiffusivity), boundary layer scenarios (classes inheriting from BoundaryLayer) and the concentration fields of particulates (ParticulateSpecies) and solutes (SoluteSpecies). The hierarchy used for implementation of diverse bulk concentration behaviours is also shown.

Documentation
No manual. The document for each java class is provided with little comment in it.
Several sample codes are provided.
