Introduction

NeuroML is a family of XML-based description languages for defining and exchanging neuronal cell, network and modeling data including reconstructions of cell anatomy, membrane physiology, electrophysiological data, network connectivity, and model specification.

ChannelML is a part of the NeuroML framework, and its primary purpose is to describe ion channel models.

nnweave is a program that reads a ChannelML description and generates a corresponding description in the NMODL language for the NEURON simulator.

Usage

nnweave [options...] <list of files to be processed>

The following options are recognized:

–mod-file=FILE
write NMODL output to FILE
–sxml-file[=FILE]
write SXML output to file (default: <file>.sxml)
–method=METHOD
specify integration method (cnexp, derivimplicit, expeuler)
–table
