7. Release Plans

The following features are planned to be developed for upcoming releases of PBE app. We are actively working on the features in the next release. Farther development priorities may change depending on feedback from the community. If you have any suggestions, we encourage you to contribute and contact us through the SimCenter Forum.

7.1. Sept 2024

  1. Facilitate wind damage and loss calculations by adding relevant vulnerability and loss components. The building-level components from the Hazus Hurricane Methodology will be complemented by components from recent research that supports higher resolution analyses. (1.3.5.1)

  1. Integrate additional functional recovery simulation engines, including the ATC 138 methodology and TREADS. This will enable benchmarking and further development of these methods

  2. Automatic access to physics-based ground motion simulation results (1.1.1.3)

7.2. Dec 2024

  1. Facilitate water damage and loss calculation by adding relevant vulnerability and loss components. The building-level components from the Hazus Flood Methodology will be complemented by components from recent research that supports higher resolution analyses (1.3.5.2)
