The Southern California Earthquake Center develops, maintains, and supports a number of scientific software programs. This is the software download page for SCEC-supported software distributions. SCEC provides varying levels of support for scientific software packages. We describe the level of support for each software package using the Computational Infrastructure in Geodynamics (CIG) software support levels. In order, from greatest to least, our software support levels are (1) Developed, maintained, and supported (2) Maintained and supported (3) Accepting bug reports.

Broadband Platform
The goal of the SCEC Broadband Simulation Platform is to generate ground motions for a particular earthquake scenario using deterministic low-frequency and stochastic high-frequency simulations. It provides multiple approaches for generating the rupture description, modeling high- and low-frequency wave propagation, and incorporating site amplification effects. These codes have been validated against recorded ground motions from real events, to increase confidence in their results. With the Broadband Platform, a user can select which combination of approaches to use and simulate an earthquake, producing seismograms which include high and low frequency data. Ultimately these seismograms can be used to improve ground motion attenuation models, resulting in more accurate predictions of future ground motions for building engineers.
