Supplementary Code for A polyhedral structure controls programmable self-assembly

The scripts in this repository perform the numerical calculations shown in Fig3c, Fig.4, and Fig.S2 of the paper A polyhedral structure controls programmable self-assembly.

Instructions

To run the scripts, simply start Julia and first run the code in assembly_design.jl. This will instatiate an environment, download all necessary packages and define all needed functions.

After this, running the scripts three_rings.jl will reproduce the numerical results on the three ring system shown in Fig.4, and the script reconfigurable_squares.jl will reproduce the results on the reconfigurable square system of Fig.3c and Fig.S2.
