Session 1 - Python (June 13-17, 2022)
Session 2 - Introduction to C/C++/HPC (July 18-22, 2022)
This workshop explores research applications of simulation software for earthquake engineering, risk, and recovery using the SimCenter software tools (quoFEM, EE-UQ, PBE, and R2D). The first day of the workshop concluded with an assignment for participants to gain hands-on experience with the software. The video recording of the workshop is available online via this link. The presentations and the input files of five hands-on examples are included below. Each example zip file has one text document to describe the problem, introduce the downloading/installing steps, and provide instructions on configuring and running the example. The workshop’s goal to facilitate effective use of the simulation tools in research by introducing the tools and soliciting information on their continued software development was facilitated by a second day of discussions about usability and utilization that support research needs.

Examples:
This session covers brief introductions to the SimCenter and the quoFEM application. It will review basic capabilities including Latin Hypercube Sampling, Monte Carlo Sampling, and Sensitivity Analysis. It will also introduce the Custom UQ Engine -a new feature that invites advanced users to integrate and use their tools within the SimCenter's Application Framework. In the second half of this session, attendees will learn about the benefits of Gaussian process-based surrogate modeling.
This session introduces the custom FEM engine that drives external applications and expands the capabilities of quoFEM. This will be illustrated through demonstrations of two structural engineering examples. The first will drive ETABS to calibrate a moment frame structure using modal characteristics. The second example calibrates an MDOF model run through Matlab.
This training session will help social scientists andrecovery modelers understand the basics of simulating consequences of natural hazards on the built environment with the SimCenter’s Regional Resilience Determination Tool (R2D). This tool combines a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) with a backend driven by SimCenter’s Regional Workflow for Hazard And Loss Estimation (rWHALE).
This interactive workshop provided information about the resources available and opportunities for community participation, as well as solicited feedback on how the developed tools might be further enhanced to meet research needs.
