Version 5.5.0

New features:

• Hazus Storm Surge option for damage and loss modeling: Enable running simulations with only inundation demand using loss functions (also known as depth-to-damage curves) from the Hazus Flood model. When using this approach, damages are not calculated, and damage outputs cannot be requested in the GI panel.

Changes:

• When running Hazus-style calculations that return loss ratios, both the loss ratio and the absolute losses are shown in the RES panel if the replacement costs are provided for the building.

Fixes:

• Loss ratios and absolute losses were both shown as loss ratios in the RES panel. This has been fixed and the column headings now appropriately identify the type of output.

• Losses under combined wind and water demands were imported incorrectly. This has been fixed and the combined losses are now properly loaded from the appropriate Pelicun outputs.

• Fixed a bug to ensure the output types requested by the user on the GI panel are respected by the backend applications.

• Example 7 was updated with a new set of default buildings that provide a better illustration of the workflow

• Example 9 was updated with a new loss_map file that conforms with the current data schema in Pelicun

Version 5.4.0

Major Changes:

• Update to Pelicun 3.6 and updated DL/Pelicun input panel to fully leverage the SimCenter Damage and Loss Model Library by showing all available methods and automatically linking to auto-population scripts corresponding to each method.
• Ability features to view/obtain information on results in output tables

Version 5.3.0

New Features

• Added Power Network for a HAZUS damage assessment
• Integration of pyrecodes software for performing Recovery simulation post event

Version 5.2.0

• A traffic flow simulator was integrated to assess the impact of natural hazards on highway transportation services. The Residual Demand Simulator, based on pseudo-equilibrium dynamic traffic assignment theory, was originally developed by Zhao et al. (2019).
• The HAZUS-style highway bridge analysis was improved by applying capacity scaling factors, such as skewness, spectral shape, and 3D effect factors, as defined in the HAZUS technical manual. The refined bridge analysis now fully aligns with FEMA’s HAZUS methodology.

Version 5.1.0

• The HAZUS-style building analysis was refined by incorporating the capacity spectrum method. This method allows for fragility analysis based on spectral acceleration and spectral displacement, replacing the previously used equivalent PGA-based fragility analysis in earlier versions of R2D.

Version 5.0.0

• Major changes required for interfacing with DesignSafe and the newly released Version 3 of Tapis. Updated major version to reflect Preferences need updating, and that for users submitting jobs to TACC HPC resources additional set-up steps and user input is required.

Version 4.2.0

Major New Features:

• Adding REWET application for performance evaluation and recovery simulation of water distribution system

This work is based on material supported by the National Science Foundation under grants CMMI 1612843 and 2131111

Version 4.1.0

• Upgrade the earthquake event generation toolbox to support simulation of Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) and liquefaction induced Permanent Ground Deformation (PGD)
• Enhancements to the BRAILS-Buildings widget, providing detailed user interaction with the existing BRAILS building inventory generation capabilities. In brief, these enhancements enable
  1) Importing footprint and building data from i) OpenStreetMaps, ii) Microsoft Global Building Footprints dataset, iii) FEMA USA
  Structures, and iv) user-specified data sources,
  2) Using National Structures Inventory data or other user-specified data to create a baseline building inventory
  3) Requesting a subset of BRAILS attributes for inventory generation
• Update the damage and loss engine, Pelicun, to v3.3:

Version 4.0.0

Major Changes:

• Interface with BRAILS to allow user to obtain regional transporartation network for subsequent analysis in R2D
• HAZUS evaluation of transportation network
• Users Can utilize surrogates developed in EE_UQ for earthquake hazards

Minor Changes:

• Earthquake HAzard Selection panel redone
• Pulling in geojson files and revised output format

Version 3.0.0

Version 3.0.0

Major Changes:

• Revised Working to include a Tools option in main menu. Tools is where R2D will place useful applications for generating input used in the Workflow. Some existing applications have been moved there, e.g. Earthquake and Hurricane Selection. In tools there are new features:

1. To Census tool Census included pulling socio-economic info from the American Community Service(ACS).
2. In Earthquake Selection ability to use Hazard Occurence Models.

• Version to to 3.x to reflect change in input files for handling multiple assets with different options in terms of Asset mapping, DL, .. for all assets.
