Single stimulation experiment
------------------------------
In the `Single stimulation experiment <Experiments/Single_stim_experiment.cellml/view>`_, the `Excitation-contraction component <../Components/EC_uSMC.cellml>`_ is configured and parameterised with an applied `Single pulse patch clamp protocol <../cellLib/Protocols/Patch_clamp_protocol.cellml>`_.
You can change the parameters of stimulation in the component ``Vstim_para``.
You can also bypass the parameters in the component ``model_parameters`` and ``initial_conditions`` and define your own parameters. We defined ``control_para`` to alter some parameters such as intracellular :math:`Na^{+}` concentration for specific experiments.
The simulation experiment can be obtained by loading the `corresponding SED-ML document <../Simulation/Single_stim_experiment.sedml>`_ into OpenCOR and executing the simulation.
