Abstract
Soft cellular systems, such as foams or biological tissues, exhibit highly complex rheological properties, even in the quasistatic regime, that numerical modeling can help to apprehend. We present a numerical implementation of quasistatic strain within the widely used cellular Potts model. The accuracy of the method is tested by simulating the quasistatic strain 2D dry foams, both ordered and disordered. The implementation of quasistatic strain in CPM allows the investigation of sophisticated interplays between stress-strain relationship and structural changes that take place in cellular systems.
