Rigidity of epithelial tissues as a double optimization problem

This dataset contains numerical values extracted from simulations of vertex models, supporting the analysis of epithelial tissue mechanics presented in the associated manuscript (Physical Review Research, in preparation). The data provides key mechanical properties such as the shear modulus, computed for different simulation conditions. It is organized to enable straightforward reproduction of the figures in the main text while facilitating further analysis and reuse in studies of rigidity transitions and tissue mechanics. The dataset structure includes tabulated values for each figure in the manuscript. Full methodological details, including simulation protocols, parameter choices, and analysis techniques, can be found in the manuscript.

Methods
The data were generated from large ensembles of tissue simulations using the vertex model framework. The open-source code cellGPU was employed for running the simulations in C++. Statistical quantities were subsequently computed in Python, utilizing scientific computing libraries such as NumPy and SciPy. These quantities were processed and exported to CSV files to facilitate ease of access and analysis.
