Hi,
When performing WE-UQ simulation of a 20-story frame with one sample and a dummy variable, I realized that the results don't match with pure OpenSees simulation results. This is because I was using a load factor to scale up the magnitude of the applied wind forces. I realized that if I specify the load factor as 1, but use a wind loading s enario that has been externally scaled before being used in WE-UQ as an input, then the results will match with OpenSees. It seems to me that the load factor input in the "existing" of the tool doesn't apply the factor properly. Is this a possibility or am I making a mistake somewhere else?
Thank you,
Azin
