.. _lblbackendApps: ********************* Backend Applications ********************* The backend applications are categorized by function into the following workflow :term:`modules` which create and populate *intermediate files* used to propagate information from one component application to the next. The :term:`modules` and their intermediate files are as follows: .. |term1| replace:: modules .. |createBIM| replace:: :ref:`Building Applications ` - create the BIM files for every building asset, containing building properties. .. |performRegionalMap| replace:: :ref:`Regional Mapping Applications ` - map an intensity measure (IM) or time series for the hazard event to each building asset site. .. |createEVENT| replace:: :ref:`Event Applications ` - create the EVENT files for every building asset, containing loads corresponding to the hazard event(s). .. |createSAM| replace:: :ref:`Modeling Applications ` - create the Structural Analysis Model (SAM) files for every building asset, containing structural model parameters. .. |createEDP| replace:: :ref:`Engineering Demand Parameter (EDP) Applications ` - create the EDP files for every building asset, containing expected response outputs of the structural model. .. |performSIMULATION| replace:: :ref:`Simulation (SIM) Applications ` - create the SIM files for every building asset, containing analysis settings for response simulation. .. |performUQ| replace:: :ref:`Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) Applications ` - execute all steps in the workflow, with the option to quantify uncertainty with experiments using random variables. .. |performDL| replace:: :ref:`Damage and Loss (DL) Applications ` - estimate expected damages and losses from the EDP application's output. .. only:: quoFEM_app .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 applications/preprocFEM applications/preprocUQ .. only:: HydroUQ_app #. |createEVENT| #. |createSAM| #. |createEDP| #. |performSIMULATION| #. |performUQ| .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: applications/eventApps applications/modelingApps applications/EDPApps applications/simulationApps applications/UQApps .. only:: WEUQ_app #. |createEVENT| #. |createSAM| #. |createEDP| #. |performSIMULATION| #. |performUQ| .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: applications/eventApps applications/modelingApps applications/EDPApps applications/simulationApps applications/UQApps .. only:: EEUQ_app #. |createEVENT| #. |createSAM| #. |createEDP| #. |performSIMULATION| #. |performUQ| .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: applications/eventApps applications/modelingApps applications/EDPApps applications/simulationApps applications/UQApps .. only:: PBE_app #. |createBIM| #. |createEVENT| #. |createSAM| #. |createEDP| #. |performSIMULATION| #. |performUQ| #. |performDL| .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: applications/buildingApps applications/eventApps applications/modelingApps applications/EDPApps applications/simulationApps applications/UQApps applications/DLApps .. only:: R2D_app #. |createBIM| #. |performRegionalMap| #. |createEVENT| #. |createSAM| #. |createEDP| #. |performSIMULATION| #. |performUQ| #. |performDL| .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: applications/buildingApps applications/regionalMapApps applications/eventApps applications/modelingApps applications/EDPApps applications/simulationApps applications/UQApps applications/DLApps These applications constitute the "backbone" of SimCenter workflow systems, with each one calling on a different subset of the component applications.
