We are excited to announce the release of QuakeManager V3!
QuakeManager Version 3 brings a range of powerful new features and improvements to streamline ground motion selection and modification workflows.
This version introduces new features and major improvements including:
- Expanded Code Design Spectra Support
- Improved GM Suite Selection (QuakeSelect Module)
- QuakeLibrary Improvements (Additional Database support)
- QuakeSignal: New Signal Processing Tools in QuakeSignal
- Polar Tool and Chart Enhancements
Exapanded Code Design Spectra Support
Figure: Improved Code Design Response Spectrum tool now supports automatic download of spectral values for design codes including multiple editions of ASCE 7, ASCE 41, NEHRP, IBC, CBC and AASHTO.
QuakeSelect: Improved Filtering in GM Suite Selection
- Mechanism (Strike-Slip, Normal, Reverse, etc.)
- Regime (Active Tectonic, Subduction, etc.)
- Subduction Event Type (Interface and/or Intraslab).
- Sampling frequency (hz)
- Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV)
- Arias Intensity (Io)
Figure: Improved GM Suite Selection Tool including new filtering criteria and a new Collection selector.
QuakeLibrary Improvements
- Adding full NGA-West2 database with ~20,000 records.
- Adding full NGA Subduction database with more than 71,000 records.
- Adding AFAD Türkiye Mw7.7 Records & aftershocks with more than 1,200 records.
- Added support for DYNA File Format.
Figure: The ground motion library has been enhanced by enhacing the NGA-West2 database and adding support for 2 new databases libraries (NGA-Sub and 2023 Turkey).
QuakeSignal: New Signal Processing Tools
- A newly implemented pulse identification tool to Identify pulse wavelets in records and report the pulse period, pulse velocity, and pulse azimuth, and easily visualize the pulse and its effects on spectra,
- An improved baseline correction tool now allows the user to specify the order of the polynomial used in baseline correction.
Figure: New pulse identification tool.
Figure: Improved history and spectra charts can now automtically show the identified pulse and residual of a ground motion.
Figure: Improved baseline correction tool now allows the user to specify the order of the polynomial used for baseline correction.
Polar Tool & Chart Enhancements
Figure: Improved Polar Tool. Users can now show FN/FP and pulse orientations and directly superimpose them on the 2D scatter and response envelope plots.
Figure: Improved charts can now plot FN, FP and Fpulse components directly without the need to pre-rotated records.
