In order to fulfill these conditions in Comsol Multiphysics, the cells are not drawn but instead, beads are considered as compartments with a certain density of cells. Rates of diffusion through the membrane are added as reaction rates and intracellular species are contained in beads via a Newmann's boundary condition applied to the surface of the beads, that is :
