In the simulation, two prominent filaments are formed, with lengths ∼15 pc and masses ∼600Msun above density n ∼ 1e3 cm−3. The density profile exhibits a central flattened core of size ∼0.3 pc and an envelope that decays as r^−2.5 in reasonable agreement with observations. Accretion onto the filament reaches a maximum linear density rate of ∼30Msun Myr^−1 pc^−1.
