Universality in the mechanical behavior of vertex models for biological tissues

This dataset contains numerical simulation results. The dataset includes tabulated mechanical observables, such as the static shear modulus, storage modulus G', and loss modulus G'', computed for distinct vertex models under varying geometric and mechanical parameters. These include the standard vertex model, active foam model, spring-edge model, and dynamical vertex models with internal degrees of freedom. The data is organized to directly reproduce figures from the main text. The Jupyter notebook demonstrates how to load, process, and visualize this data. This repository is intended to support both the direct reproduction of published figures and enable further comparative studies of mechanical responses in vertex-based models of biological tissues. Detailed simulation protocols and modeling assumptions are provided in the associated manuscript., , # Universality in the mechanical behavior of vertex models for biological tissues **Authors:** O.

It contains simulation outputs for various vertex models used to probe the zero-strain-rate shear modulus, frequency-dependent viscoelastic moduli, and model universality. Each CSV file corresponds to one or more figure panels in the main text. A Jupyter notebook (`plot_data.ipynb`) is included for reproducing the figures. --- ## Description of Dataset and Files ### 1. **data_fig1a.csv** **Purpose:** Contains viscoelastic moduli for the standard vertex model in the **solid regime** (target s...,
