rWHALE: Anchorage, Alaska Datasets

[mbenitez]

Hello,

I am trying to run the datasets from the Anchorage, Alaska earthquake provided by the SimCenter in rWHALE remotely, however the output 'RegionalDamageLoss.csv' file does not appear anymore. It looks like there have been changes to the code, which is great, but I am not able to pinpoint where the error may be.

If someone is able to help, I would very much appreciate it.

Best,
Mariana

Hi Mariana,

Yes, since the rWhale application has been upgraded to v2.2.0 and there might be incompatibility in the data input format for running the previous AnchorageM.7 simulation - we're looking into the issue now and will get you back ASAP - thank you for your patience!

Thank you for the quick reply, Kuanshi!

Also, is the code for rWHALE v2.2.0 available on zenodo or github?

Regards,
Mariana

Yes, Mariana - the source code of latest rWHALE is available in SimCenter repo SimCenterBackendApplications: https://github.com/NHERI-SimCenter/SimCenterBackendApplications.

Kuanshi,

Do you have an update regarding the updated Anchorage, Alaska datasets for rWHALE v2.2.0?

Thank you.

Hi Mariana - really sorry about the delay - we still need some time to unify the data format for the Anchorage case and the latest backend applications. We will keep you updated and many thanks again for your patience!

I have the same issue, I tried this tutorial and it didn't work. When will it work again for rWHALE v2.2.0?

Hi Mariana and kubee77,

The updated Anchorage example is now available via the link: https://github.com/NHERI-SimCenter/R2DTool/tree/master/Examples/Earthquake3_Anchorage, which is configured for running on the newly released rWhale-2.3.0 (https://www.designsafe-ci.org/rw/workspace/#!/rWhale-2.3.0u1#workspace).

To submit the analysis job in the DesignSafe workspace, please first zip the "input_data" folder and select it as the "Regional Simulation Data" in the "Inputs" widget; and then select the "rWHALE_Anchorage.json" as the "Workflow Configuration File". The v2.3.0 also allows to run a subset of the entire building inventory by specifying "filter for buildings to run" (e.g., 1-10 for running the first 10 buildings", 1,3-10 for skipping the second building) - or specifying the "filter" in the configuration file.

We're working on the documentation of these updated examples along with the R2DTool and backend applications, please check out the latest documentation page: https://nheri-simcenter.github.io/R2D-Documentation/, and feel free to come back to us if you have questions or comments.

Regards,
Kuanshi
