ISU TAS

Name

ISU TAS

Description

ISU TAS is a Tile Assembly Model simulator that allows users to design tilesets and seeds and to simulate assemblies. The simulator allows for graphical creation of seed assemblies, fast forwarding and rewinding of assembly growth, and easy zooming, scrolling, and inspection of assemblies among other features. The graphical tile type editor allows tile types to be easily designed and manipulated. Assemblies and tile sets can be created, saved, and reloaded. ISU TAS is released under the GPL and source code, along with build scripts and instructions for both Windows, (RedHat) Linux, and Mac OS X are provided.

Tutorials for learning to use ISU TAS can be found here: ISU TAS Tutorials

Release 2.0

ISU TAS 2.0 is now available via the following links. This version is capable of simulations of aTAM, kTAM, and 2HAM systems, as well as supporting non-diagonal glue functions, native loading of (some) xgrow tile files, and a variety of other documented and undocumented features. Please see the ISU TAS Tutorials for more information. Each package comes with the binary executable for the corresponding platform, along with source code and sample tile assembly systems. While this version is hopefully more stable and less buggy than the previous, there are still surely plenty of bugs and inconveniences. Use at your own risk! Please feel free to email tas@self-assembly.net with any questions, comments, etc. We hope that you enjoy this software and find it useful!
