Hi,

I apologize that there is an error when releasing the latest R2D pre-release, and the earthquake scenario simulation tool is down. Please keep an eye on the updating of the R2D pre-release, and we expect this error to be fixed in a couple of days.

Very sorry about the error and delay this may cause.

Best,

Hello,

This may be because the Zenodo API server is not working. You could try to download the example files from our GitHub repo: https://github.com/NHERI-SimCenter/R2DExamples. After you download the example files. You can load the example to R2D by going to the "File->Open" option in the menu bar, and load the "/R2DExamples/E1BasicHAZUS/input.json" file.

Hello Huy,

Besides different asset information, example 4.6 also has an additional Intensity Measure (IM), which is Inundation Height, i.e., PIH, in the input_data. This IM is later used in the HAZUS-style flood damage and loss assessment. By editing the asset information, IM, and auto_population script (e.g., auto_HU_NJ.py in Example 4.6), strong winds and flooding can be analyzed separately.

As far as I know, HAZUS does not have damage and loss models for storm surges. As a result, R2D does not have a built-in DL model for storm surges. You can add your costume DL by defining customized fragility functions. An example of defining customized fragility functions can be found in example 4.8.

"Specialized modules" for flood and storm surge modeling are not needed unless custom engineering demand parameters (i.e., different from using IMs as EDP in Example 4.6 & 4.7) are desired. Incorporating custom EDP is currently not supported in R2D and is under development.

Hope this helps to clarify.

Hi drw02,

If you use IMasEDP structural analysis model, the building inventory data has to have the same attributes as the .csv file in EXAMPLE 1. I attached a .gpkg GIS file containing the same info as the first 1000 buildings in EXAMPLE 1 .csv building inventory file for your reference. If you use other structural analysis models, you may follow the data format in other examples.

For now, R2D only supports .gpkg for GIS input. We will enable loading shapefiles shortly. When you load shapefiles, you have to put the .shx and .dbf files in the same folder as .shp and supply the path to the .shp file to R2D. If you are working with shapefiles now, you may use the Python package geopandas to convert them to .gpkg or .csv files and load the .gpkg or .csv files to R2D.

Hope this helps.

Hi Amir,

It seems to be an error on your end, and the second example runs correctly on my computer. Could you please try to uninstall R2D and reinstall the newest pre-release? If the issue is still not solved, we can arrange a Zoom meeting to help you with the problem.

Hello CCChen,

In the “/your_username/Documents/R2D/LocalWorkDir/HazardSimulation/GroundMotions/Output” folder, you can find a “RupFile.json” that contains the rupture information, which includes the earthquake rupture location or rupture id, source id, etc.

For your second question, the current Earthquake Scenario Simulation tool user interface may have a bug that doesn’t set the number of scenarios correctly. Could you please check the “Number" subfield of the “Scenario” in your “/your_username/Documents/R2D/LocalWorkDir/HazardSimulation/GroundMotions/Input/EQHazardConfiguration.json” file? If it is different than what you specified in the Earthquake Scenario Simulation user interface, please run the command below in your terminal/command line prompt.

“pathToBackEndApplications/applications/performRegionalEventSimulation/regionalGroundMotion/HazardSimulation.py --hazard_config /your_username/Documents/R2D/LocalWorkDir/HazardSimulation/GroundMotions/Input/EQHazardConfiguration.json”

where “pathToBackEndApplications” is the backend applications directory specified in R2D/preference. The EQ scenarios will be written to your LocalWorkDir/HazardSimulation/GroundMotions/Output folder.

A new version of R2D will be uploaded to DesignSafe shortly to fix the bug. Hope this helps, and let us know if there is anything else that is needed.

Hello Amir,

The error code might be because a library is missing in your R2D installation. To further assist you, could you please reply and attach the following files?

• "..\Documents\R2D\LocalWorkDir\tmp.SimCenter\Results\Buildings\1-AIM.json"
• "..\Documents\R2D\LocalWorkDir\tmp.SimCenter\Results\Buildings\1\workdir.1\EVENT.json"
• "..\Documents\R2D\LocalWorkDir\tmp.SimCenter\Results\Buildings\1\workdir.1\SAM.json"
• "..\Documents\R2D\LocalWorkDir\tmp.SimCenter\Results\Buildings\1\workdir.1\EDP.json"

Meanwhile, please check in the R2D program output to see if the "Running Modeling app" stage returned any error. You could also try to run another example or reinstall R2D to see if the error still exists. Please let me know if you have trouble sending the files or if anything is unclear.

Best,

Jinyan
