Title: Hurricane database
Post by: sejin09 on November 15, 2022, 08:28:51 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to load a hurricane data from the database in 'HAZ' tab. I chose 'Hurricane scenario simulation' and 'Select hurricane track from database.' Then whenever I hit the button 'Load hurricane database', I get the error 'The hurricane database does not exist.'  I wonder what's the problem and how to fix it. Thanks!

i am looking into the source code .. there should be a file ibtracs.last3years.list.v04r00.csv in a folder Databases in the applications folder (note if you are on a mac the app R2D.app is actually a directory and you can cd into from the terminal .. the R2D.exe is located in the following R2D.app/Contents/MacOS and Datanases should be a folder there) .. can you tell me if the folder and file exists .. thanks and sorry

I found the file, but the file location was applications\performRegionalEventSimulation\regionalWindField\database\historical_storm. Is this correct or do I need to move the file to the folder applications directly? Thanks.
