Simcenter Ground Motion Utilities

This repository contains a suite of tools that are developed by the SimCenter to facilitate the use of seismic hazard analysis(SHA) for different research applications.

The tools in this repository are organized in following folders:

User's Guide

The tools provided in this repository are console applications. Each tool requires an input json file and outputs one or more json files. Sample usage of each tool is printed on the screen when the applications are executed without arguments. In addition, documentation of the input and output is provided in each tool's folder.

Developer's Guide

Tools in this repositoy use different build systems. EQHazard is a java application and is built using Apache Ant. Eclipse is the prefered IDE to build EQHazard. However, the app can also be built using the shell command (path of the build file is relative to EQHazard folder):

ant -buildfile  ./ant/EQHazardBuild.xml

SimulateIM and SelectRecord are C++ applications that can be built using cmake. SimulateIM uses random number generation feature introduced in the C++11 standard. So, a C++11 compliant compiler is needed to build SimulateIM.

Build SimulateIM and SelectRecord

It is preferred to use an out-of-source build, to keep the source code separated from the binary files. To achive that, this guide assumes a folder called build exists in the parent folder and is used to build the executable files from the source.

Unix-like operating system

Building on *nix was tested using both the GCC and intel compilers. The following command can be used to build the SimulateIM and SelectRecord for debugging:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make

For release build:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

Windows

Building on windows was tested using Microsoft Visual Studio. Cmake is used to generate visual studio projects as follows:

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

The generated visual sudio project can then be used to build, run and debug the tools. CMake generators for other versions of Visual studio can be used as well.

Stampede2 HPC

The following command can be used to build the tools on TACC Stampede2 HPC using GCC:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ ..
make

To build using intel compiler:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=icc -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icc ..
make
