2.3.3. Event Applications¶

The event application takes the selected event(s) for a building site, associates each one with a simulation, and creates EVENT files containing the event intensity measures. It obtains the name of the event from the BIM file and the intensity measure information from the input event files. This input information is saved in an EVENT.json file, located in the corresponding simulation working directory.

The following options for event applications vary in the type of event, event properties, and the format of the event file that they process.
