2.4. EVT: Hydro Events

The event panel presents the user with a drop-down menu with a list of available event applications.

Event applications are applications that, given the building and user-supplied data inputs, will generate a list of events (i.e., typically time-dependent loads that represent natural disasters) for the building.

The Hydro EVT is used to setup the flow parameters related to the water-borne hazard event. This can either be a coupling between the shallow-water and CFD solver or using the CFD solver alone.

The following options are available in the drop-down menu:

• 2.4.1. General Event (Legacy)
  • 2.4.1.1. Project Settings
  • 2.4.1.2. Geometry
    • Bathymetry
    • Shallow Water to CFD Interface
    • Buildings and Scaled Specimens
      • Manual Definition
      • Parametric Definition
    • Debris and Floating Bodies
  • 2.4.1.3. Meshing
  • 2.4.1.4. Materials
  • 2.4.1.5. Initial conditions
  • 2.4.1.6. Solver
• 2.4.2. Coupled Digital Twin
  • 2.4.2.1. Coupled Simulation Settings
  • 2.4.2.2. Specify OpenSees Structural Model and an External Surface File
  • 2.4.2.3. Specify OpenFOAM CFD Model and Initial Conditions
  • 2.4.2.4. Specify Outputs
  • 2.4.2.5. Postprocessing
• 2.4.3. Material Point Method
  • 2.4.3.1. Settings
  • 2.4.3.2. Bodies
    • Material
    • Geometries
    • Algorithm
    • Partitions
    • Debris
  • 2.4.3.3. Boundaries
  • 2.4.3.4. Sensors
  • 2.4.3.5. Outputs

Note

^* The new MPM module is only available in the current release 4.0.0 as a standalone Tools app, though it is designed to be an EVT option. It will be fully implemented as a workflow EVT in the next release.
