[Shake-dev] event type for scenario event

[Bruce Worden]

Hi Natalia,

There are two ways to do this. 

1. In the event.xml's "earthquake" tag, add an attribute: type="RS". So you'd have something like:

<earthquake id="Northridge" lat="34.213" lon="-118.5357" mag="6.7" year="1994" month="01" day="17" hour="12" minute="30" second="55" timezone="GMT" depth="18" locstring="Northridge" type="RS" created="1056046245" network="ci" />

2. Create a file called "source.txt" in the event's input directory and add a line:

type=RS

This will override whatever is in event.xml.

For Zhao06 you'll also generally want to set the "zone" to be one of "crustal", "interface", or "intraslab" (see the comments at the top of the Zhao06.pm module). The same two techniques will work for this parameter as well. Or you can use one of the modules with a pre-selected zone: Zhao06_crustal, Zhao06_interface, or Zhao06_intraslab.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
