This page outlines the process to create a new BBP validation package and use it to produce CyberShake goodness-of-fit results.

Create BBP Validation Package

  1. Copy over an already-existing validation package in $BBP_VAL_DIR.
  2. Copy the .src file and the .stl file that were used for the validation simulation.
  3. Edit the validation_config.txt file, if needed. Possibly modify EVENT_VELOCITY_MODEL, P_CODEBASE_ALL_source, and P_CODEBASE_ALL_stations.
  4. Create the .acc files. There should be 1 file per station per component with the filename <station>_<comp>.acc. These files use the following format:
    Rotated Accelerogram to <direction>
    H1 for rotation: <station name> <original angle 1>
    H2 for rotation: <station name> <original angle 2>
    rotation angle - n/a 
    Acceleration in g
    <npts>    <dt>    NPTS, DT
    <values, 6 per row in %.6e format>
    

Perform goodness-of-fit with CyberShake results

  1. Create empty simulation directory tree.
  2. Copy CyberShake *.vel.bbp and *.acc.bbp files to the outdata directory.
  3. Run the BBP, but skip all simulation stages and start with the plot_map module.
