Record Suite Properties

To access Record Suite Properties dialog, double-click on any Record Suite in the Project Explorer. The selected Record Suite may be renamed and the default record disk path of may be defined

Note that through this dialog, the user may also optionally define and modify the Target Design Spectrum, GM Fitting Criteria and the Bidir Type. These objects will be used to calculate the fitting error of records stored within the suite.

Suite Operation

Users may select the desired suite operation as follows:

•Scaling: select a suite of records manually using the Search Panel or Ground Motion Library and scale the suite using the GM Suite Selection, or apply scale factor using “Rescale”

•Selection: appears when ground motion selection is performed using the “GM Suite Selection” dialog

•Matching: appears when spectral matching is performed

	Target Design Spectrum
	Set the Target Spectrum (appears with "Scaling" suite operation only).

	GM Fitting Criteria
	Open and modify the GM Fitting Criteria (appears with "Scaling" suite operation only).

	Bidir Type
	Select the desired Bidir Type (e.g. SRSS, Geomean, etc.) Note that Bidir Type appears with "Scaling" suite operation only.

	Define Default Disk Path
	The user can manually set the Project path which is used to save ground motion files that are generated by Spectral Matching or other tools. The default is that the suite records are saved in a folder with the suite name under the folder where the project is currently saved, which helps keep all record suite records saved together with the project.

Current Default Disk Path

Path of the saving directory. This path will be updated automatically once users saves the Project in a specific path. It is recommended to place the each QuakeManager file in a specific folder for the project, otherwise, it is recommended to use different suite names. For example, if two projects are located in the same folder and the user performed spectral matching, QuakeManager will place the resulting suite of records (having the same name as in the other QuakeManager file) in the folder and may overwrite the old suite of records folder.
