The general structure of a computer program (CD3D) simulating division in a sheet of cells is presented. The program is based on a topological representation of cell division previously developed by the authors, and the biological background to the model is discussed. The computer modelling of the various elements of the model (i.e. vertices, edges and meshes) is described, and an annotated description of the subroutines making up the program is given in an Appendix. Although the program and model are specifically designed to represent cell division processes, the graph framework may have applicability in other biological subject areas where dynamic relationships between elements are involved.
本文介绍了一个模拟细胞片层分裂的计算机程序（CD3D）的总体结构。该程序基于作者先前开发的细胞分裂拓扑表示，并且讨论了该模型的生物学背景。文中描述了模型各个元素（即顶点、边和网格）的计算机建模，并在附录中给出了构成该程序的子程序的注释说明。尽管该程序和模型是专门为表示细胞分裂过程而设计的，但这种图形框架可能适用于涉及元素之间动态关系的其他生物学学科领域。
