According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.
The Virtual Laboratory is an interactive environment for creating and conducting simulated experiments: a playground for experimentation. It consists of domain-dependent simulation programs, experimental units called objects that encompass data files, tools that operate on these objects
