Licensed QuakeManager users will have access to the full NGA-West2 database metadata (with ~ 21500 records).
The metadata of the NGA-West2 database, including information about the records, spectral values and some intensity measures, are available for search in QuakeManager.
Note that NGA acceleration files are not provided with QuakeManager (due to copyright limitations) and need to be downloaded directly from the NGA website.
The ground motion suite selection tool can search the NGA-West2 metadata & spectra to select optimal suites of records to use.
If the selected acceleration records are not already on the user's disk, the user can download them from the NGA-West2 website.
A handy tool for facilitating download of NGA records is provided. See the Tutorial: Downloading Records from NGA for a step-by-step demonstration.
