5.2.4. Version 2.0.0 (October 15, 2019)

• Migrated to the latest version of Python, numpy, scipy, and pandas. See setup.py for required minimum versions of those tools.

• Python 2.x is no longer supported.

• Improved DL input structure to

  • make it easier to define complex performance models,

  • make input files easier to read,

  • support custom, non-PACT units for component quantities,

  • and support different component quantities on every floor.

• Updated FEMA P58 DL data to use ea for equipment instead of units such as KV, CF, AP, TN.

• Added FEMA P58 2nd edition DL data.

• Support for EDP inputs in standard csv format.

• Added a function that produces SimCenter DM and DV json output files.

• Added a differential evolution algorithm to the EDP fitting function to do a better job at finding the global optimum.

• Enhanced DL_calculation.py to handle multi-stripe analysis (significant contributions by Joanna Zou):

  • Recognize stripe_ID and occurrence rate in BIM/EVENT file.

  • Fit a collapse fragility function to empirical collapse probabilities.

  • Perform loss assessment for each stripe independently and produce corresponding outputs.

5.2.5. Version 1.2.0 (October 15, 2019)

• Added support for HAZUS hurricane wind damage and loss assessment.

• Added HAZUS hurricane DL data for wooden houses.

• Moved DL resources inside the pelicun folder so that they come with pelicun when it is pip installed.

• Add various options for EDP fitting and collapse probability estimation.

• Improved the way warning messages are printed to make them more useful.
