Hi Sonica,

You are right, the axon model is set with a fixed number of nodes (51), but the node-to-node distance is dependent on the axon diameter, hence so is the overall axon length.

In the code base, the axon model is set in such a way that if you change its diameter (using sim.axon.diameter = ...), the internal parameters (and the resulting node-to-node distance) will change accordingly. Hence, you should have no problem changing the diameter iteratively and replicating the results of figure 8A.

As for the node-to-node separation, you can access it by extracting the nodes longitudinal coordinates (using sim.axon.xnodes), as showcased in the notebook. Since you can access the simulation object from within the function, you should not need to modify its footprint.

Hope this helps!
Theo
