TITLE Calcium ion accumulation and diffusion
: The internal coordinate system is set up in PROCEDURE coord_cadifus()
: and must be executed before computing the concentrations.
: The scale factors set up in this procedure do not have to be recomputed
: when diam1 or DFree are changed.
: The amount of calcium in an annulus is ca[i]*diam1^2*vol[i] with
: ca[0] being the second order correct concentration at the exact edge
: and ca[NANN-1] being the concentration at the exact center

COMMENT
At this time, conductances (and channel states and currents are
calculated at the midpoint of a dt interval.  Membrane potential and
concentrations are calculated at the edges of a dt interval.  With
secondorder=2 everything turns out to be second order correct.
