Report Generator

Records Table

To export the suite, users may click on the Records Table box to tabulate the selected records generated in the GM Suite Selection or Spectral Matching. Users have two options:

•Remove Empty Columns: eliminate empty columns (if any) from the Record Table.

•Landscape Page: This outputs the Record Table in a landscape page layout.

Suite Spectra & Statistics

•Target mu: Display the Mean of the target suite

•Target mu+sigma: Display the Mean of the target + Dispersion

•Target mu-sigma: Display the Mean of the target - Dispersion

•Original: Display the original ground motion spectra (pre-modification)

•Modified: Display the modified records post-modification (after scaling, selection or matching)

•Line Wt (Mod): Select to use a thick line weight for modified records

•Target 1: Display the first target spectrum defined in either GM Search, GM Suite Selection or Spectral Matching

•Target 2: Display the second target spectrum defined in either GM Search, GM Suite Selection or Spectral Matching. Note that "Target 2" option is activated only if users selected the "Custom" match type in GM Suite Selection, “Bidirectional” match type with “H1 & H2” or “RotD100 & RotD00” Bidir Type, or “3-Components” match type in Spectral Matching

•Target 3: Display the first target spectrum defined in the GM Selection. Note that "Target 2" option is activated only if users selected the "Custom" match type in GM Suite Selection, “Bidirectional” match type with “H1 & H2” or “RotD100 & RotD00” Bidir Type, or “3-Components” match type in Spectral Matching

•Triplet Targets: Display individual targets for each triplet record

•Component Targets: Display individual targets for each component record

•Line Wt (Tgt): Select to use a thick line weight for the Triplet and Component Targets

•Log X-axis: Displays the X-axis in the logarithmic scale

•Log Y-axis: Displays the Y-axis in the logarithmic scale

•Hide Records: Hide the generated individual records and keep the selected statistics options listed above

•Landscape Page: Display the output charts in a landscape page layout

Spectra Charts

Display individual spectra charts for each record. The following can be plotted:

•Component 1: add the resultant first horizontal component of the record

•Component 2: add the resultant second horizontal component of the record

•Component 3: add the vertical component of the record

•Target mu: Display the Mean of the target suite

•Target mu+sigma: Display the Mean of the target + Dispersion

•Target mu-sigma: Display the Mean of the target + Dispersion

•Peak Limit: Display the Suite Peaks Limit

•Valley Limits: Display the Suite Valleys Limit

The user can choose the spectra resultants to be included in the charts from the following options:

•Auto: Display the Bidir Type according to its target (if defined) automatically

•SRSS: Square root of the sum of the squares

•Geomean: Geometric mean

•RotD100: Maximum rotated component

•RotD50: Median rotated component

•RotD00: Minimum rotated component

•PSa/PSv/Sd: Display the Pseudo Spectral Acceleration, Velocity and Displacement chart on a single plot

•PSa: Plot the Pseudo Spectral Acceleration

•PSv: Plot the Pseudo Spectral Velocity

•Sd: Plot the Spectral Displacement

•ADRS: Plot the Acceleration Displacement Response Spectrum

•Target 1: Display the first target spectrum defined in either GM Search, GM Suite Selection or Spectral Matching

•Target 2: Display the second target spectrum defined in either GM Search, GM Suite Selection or Spectral Matching. Note that "Target 2" option is activated only if users selected the "Custom" match type in GM Suite Selection, “Bidirectional” match type with “H1 & H2” or “RotD100 & RotD00” Bidir Type, or “3-Components” match type in Spectral Matching

•Target 3: Display the first target spectrum defined in the GM Selection. Note that "Target 2" option is activated only if users selected the "Custom" match type in GM Suite Selection, “Bidirectional” match type with “H1 & H2” or “RotD100 & RotD00” Bidir Type, or “3-Components” match type in Spectral Matching

•Triplet Targets: Display individual targets for each triplet record

•Component Targets: Display individual targets for each component record

•Line Wt (Tgt): Select to use a thick line weight for the Triplet and Component Targets

Concerning the Spectra's Format, the following options are available:

•Plot each record on an individual figure: Create one chart for each component or triplet

•Plot Components on the same figure: Plot all components (of each triplet) on a one chart and the triplet on another chart

•Plot Components and Resultants on the same figure: Plot each triplet and its components' spectra resultants on a single chart

•Log X-axis: Displays the X-axis in the logarithmic scale

•Log Y-axis: Displays the Y-axis in the logarithmic scale

•Landscape Page: Export charts to a landscape layout page

•Original: Display the original ground motions as-recorded (pre-modification)

•Modified: Display the modified records post-modification (after scaling, selection or matching)

•Line Wt (Mod): Select to use a thick line weight for modified records

History Charts

Users can add History Charts for each of the selected records. Note that the users can export the records History Charts only if the records' files are available in their local disk. To show the AVD Histories, users need to download the actual records from the NGA-West2 website.

The following can be plotted:

•Component 1: adds the first horizontal component of the record

•Component 2: adds the second horizontal component of the record

•Component 3: adds the vertical component of the record

Users may select the types of charts to be included in the report:

•Acc / Vel / Disp: Show the acceleration, velocity and displacement histories in a single chart

•Acc: click the box to include the record acceleration chart

•Vel: click the box to include the record velocity chart

•Disp: click the box to include the record displacement chart

•Arias: click the box to include the Arias chart

•Original: Display the original ground motions as-recorded (pre-modification)

•Modified: Display the modified records post-modification (after scaling, selection or matching)

•Line Wt (Mod): Select to use a thick line weight for modified records

•Shift Padding: Plot charts with the "Shift Padding" option (for padded records, usually with spectral matching)

•Hide Padding: Plot charts with the "Hide Padding" option  (for padded records, usually with spectral matching)

•Plot each component on separate figure: Display the selected components on charts individually

•Plot multiple components on same figure: Display all components of a Triplet ton a single chart

Templates

Select, save and manage report templates for later use. Users may select the desirable options for generating the report and save the options a new Template or overwrite and existing one for use in future projects. Users may also delete and rename Templates using the "Manage Templates" dialog.
