Approach to a multiparticle system: Bacteria in medium

$

Hi everybody,

I have recently started a bioinformatics project at university. It is about cooperation of bacteria so I want to deal with a large number (1000+) of objects in medium producing proteins and exchanging them using diffusion. The sophisticated implementation of diffusion in COMSOL is the reason for trying it this way

I started today with some tests and ended up with a 2D model, where a single small circle being a bacterium emitted substances into its environment. What I did not see was a possibility to make this geometric object a template for bacteria so I could easily create many of them spread around in space. Is there a way to create templates in COMSOL?

What would be your alternative approach to this multi-agent problem?

Thank you very much for your advice!

Damian
