For the last week or so the repository has held some new code that I haven't announced yet, but it changes the way some of this is handled. </div><div><br></div><div>The basic issue is that while BA08 uses Rjb, WGRW11 wants Rrup. I can try to address these errors so the system is a little more tolerant of mismatched fault types, but the best solution is to make all of your fault models into polygons as described in the software guide. That will insure that they will work with any GMPE, IPE, or GMICE (and any combination thereof). Line faults can be extended to depth pretty easily, and if a polygonal fault model is available, depths should be as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Again, I strongly recommend making ALL faults closed polygons with depths for each point. See "A Note About Finite Faults" in the software guide.</div><div><br></div><div>Bruce</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. As an example, suppose you have a line fault defined as:</div><div><br></div><div>42.0 -121.0</div><div>43.0 -122.0</div><div><br></div><div>You can make this a polygon by doing something like this:</div><div><br></div><div>42.0 -121.0 0.0</div><div>43.0 -122.0 0.0</div><div>43.0 -122.0 20.0</div><div>42.0 -121.0 20.0</div><div>42.0 -121.0 0.0</div><div><br></div><div>Assuming the fault ruptured to the surface. For a vertical fault, the depth doesn't matter all that much, but if you don't have a depth, you can always use Wells & Coppersmith to estimate it.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 27, 2012, at 10:01 AM, Hagos, Lijam wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Hello Bruce,<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">I am getting an error message when trying to re-run ShakeMap (for Sierra El Mayor Earthquake) with a finite fault model as an input and using WGRW11 as a GMICE.
