Model Description

Model Form

• Computes the repair cost of the building when its repair operation is complete.
• The model form is as follows:
$$l = \eta \cdot N \cdot A \cdot C \cdot \varepsilon \cdot \varsigma $$ Important Notes:
• The cost of repair operation is computed once it is completed, i.e., the repair status changes to 1. Otherwise, the model returns a cost of 0.
• To use this model in analyzers other than Discrete Event Sampling Anlyzer, the "RepairStatus" property must be a constant parameter with current value of 1.

DDM sensitivities

• Yes

Properties

Object Name

• Name of the object in Rt
• Allowable characters are upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and underscore (“_”).
• The name is unique and case-sensitive.

Display Output

• Determines whether the model is allowed to print messages to the Output Pane.

Damage Factor

• \({\eta}\) = Damage ratio, typically between 0 and 1

Number Of Stories

• \({N}\) = Number of storeys, given as an integer

Footprint Area

• \({A}\) = Footprint area of the building, given as a real number

Unit Area Cost

• \({C}\) = Cost of replacement per unit area

Epsilon

• \({\varepsilon}\) = Multiplicative model error

Repair Status

• \({\varsigma}\) = Status of Repair operation: 1 if completed and 0 otherwise

Output

• \({l}\) = Loss due to the repair Cost
• The output is an automatically generated generic response object, which takes the object name of the model plus “Response”.
