-      The |full tool name| (|app|) creates and launches simulation workflows to assess the regional impact of natural hazard events. Advanced capabilities facilitate high-resolution simulation. Researchers can investigate disaster scenarios or perform a probabilistic assessment by including uncertainties in both the hazard and the characteristics of the built environment. Assessments can include a comprehensive inventory of assets or focus on a distributed portfolio of structures, subjected to hurricanes, earthquakes, or other hazard events. The application integrates tools and libraries to support the creation of inventories, characterize hazard events, and simulate damage and losses on large inventories of buildings and civil infrastructure. User-defined models and calculation methodologies are also supported. Detailed results are provided in a standardized format to facilitate post-processing and further calculations to evaluate community impacts and recovery. The computations are performed by a simulation workflow that runs on either the user’s local machine or on a high performance computer made available by |DesignSafe|.

-      The |full tool name| (|app|) is an open-source desktop application designed to support the assessment of building performance under natural hazard events. The application quantifies performance in a probabilistic approach. Users can consider uncertainties in event intensity, structural behavior, component quantities and their limit state capacities, as well as the consequences of exceeding component limit states (i.e., experiencing damage). The |app| provides a convenient user interface and uses the settings provided by the user to prepare a simulation workflow description in a JSON file. This workflow description is used to run a simulation workflow on SimCenter's backend engine using sWHALE. The structural response estimation part of the workflow can run on the TACC high performance computing cluster made available through |DesignSafe|. The performance assessment part runs locally using SimCenter's Pelicun performance assessment engine.
