  • Once the progress bars have finished for each analysis, you should see new datasets added to your Scenario View and map: The Building Inventory v5 dataset that you selected to use, a Building Damages dataset which will contain the damage information, and the earthquake hazard dataset. Your Visualization should now look similar to the figure below with the buildings colored by mean damage.

  • To change the visualization for this dataset, right click on the Building Damage layer, and select Change Layer Style. The Style Editor should appear in the bottom right of the application window. Like other windows, you can move or resize it to make it easier to view. Select MeanDamage or another field from the drop down menu as the Value in the Field Classified section. After picking the field to view, select the Number of Classes to classify (e.g. mean damage) on buildings. To apply the style change, click the Apply Style button in the Style Editor's tab bar.

  • Before looking at the economic impact of this scenario, we should first compute the non-structural and content damage. To do this, go back to the Execute Analysis button () and select the Non-Structural Content Damage (generalized) and click Finish. As before, click on the analysis in the graph to open the input form. The new window shows parameters for creating the Building Non-Structural Content Damage like in Figure 16, based on the analysis you are executing, you should select the fragility mapping from the related field, and click Execute. Note: you should use the hazard we created in the building structural damage analysis for the non-structural damage. Then, to see the economic impact, go back to the Execute Analysis button () and select Direct Economic Damage and click Finish. You should see a page similar to the one in Figure 17. The Non Structural Damage dataset is not a required input for the direct economic damage so you will need to select the optional tab to find that input field and select the non-structural dataset we just created. For the occupancy mapping, you should use the find dataset button, and click Execute to create the Building Direct Economic Damage. Note: Including structural and non-structural damage can make the direct economic damage calculation take a considerable amount of time to run so to improve running time, you can just include the structural damage.
