2.1.1. Inputs

The following files must be provided by the user to execute the workflow.

2.1.1.1. Configuration File

JSON file containing simulation details and specifies the application selected for each workflow step.
properties
runDir	Directory where input_data folder is located.
	type	path
localAppDir	Directory where applications folder is located.
	type	path
units	Dictionary of strings which specifiy units for force, length, and time.
	type	string
	default	N, m, sec
outputs	Indicator (True/False) of which workflow outputs (EDP, DM, DV) are provided in the simulation.
	type	bool
	default	true
Applications	Dictionary of applications selected for each workflow step, with their associated application-specific inputs.
	type	dict

2.1.1.2. Building Source File

CSV file containing building properties for the response simulation and damage/loss estimation steps of the workflow. This file contains all information necessary for constructing BIM files for each building asset. Required headers are grouped into categories, as follows:
properties
Basic	Headers required for all hazard types, including Earthquake/Wind/Flood.
Wind	Headers only required for Wind hazards.
Flood	Headers only required for Flood hazards.
OptionalInputs	(Optional) Additional column headers which may be included for custom building definitions. For example, structural model parameters used in the Simulation application or alternate building classifications used in the DL application may be specified here.

The header schema, followed by an example input, are provided. Definitions for the keywords are given in the Custom Inventory sheet.

2.1.1.3. Model File

If the simulation application chosen is OpenSees-Simulation or OpenSeesPy-Simulation, then a model file must be provided. It consists of an OpenSees/OpenSeesPy script with functions for building and analyzing a custom structural model. See the Simulation Applications page for more details on application-specific inputs.

2.1.1.4. EDP specifications file

JSON file specifying types, locations, and directions of EDPs to record in the structural model during response simulation.The EDP specifications file is only necessary as an input if UserDefinedEDP is chosen as the EDP application.

2.1.1.5. Event Files

To specify the type, location, and intensity of each event, the following files must be provided in the input_data/records folder.
properties
EventGrid	CSV file which specifies the coordinate (latitude/longitude) location of each event site.
	properties
	sta	Name of event file associated with the given event site. If running time history analysis, then the name of the site file is provided instead.
		type	string
	lon	Longitude coordinate of the site location.
		type	float
	lat	Latitude coordinate of the site location.
		type	float
Event IM Files	CSV or JSON files containing information on the intensity measure of the event.
	properties
	name	Name of ground motion record.
		type	string
	dT	Time step of ground motion recording.
		type	float
	data_x	List of acceleration points in the x-direction ground motion record.
		type	list
	data_y	List of acceleration points in the y-direction ground motion record.

		type	float
	PGA_y	Value of peak ground acceleration in the y-direction ground motion record.
		type	float
Site Files	CSV files listing the names of the event file(s) assigned to the site for time history analysis. This file can also provide other properties, such as a ground motion scale factor.
	properties
	GM_file	Name of the ground motion event file (for Earthquake hazard events).
		type	string
	factor	Factor for scaling the ground motion.
		type	float
