Simple Wind Velocity Model

Class Name

• RSimpleWindVelocityModel

Location in Objects Pane

• Models > Model > Hazard > Wind > Simple Wind Velocity

Model Description

Model Form

• This model produces wind velocity according to a Gumbel distribution with parameters that are based on characteristic wind velocities.
• For further information on this model, refer to Mahsuli, M., Haukaas, T. (2013).

DDM sensitivities

• No

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.

Theta

• \({\theta}\) = A standard-normal random variable

V 10

• \({V_{10}}\) = 1-in-10-year wind velocity

V 50

• \({V_{50}}\) = 1-in-50-year wind velocity

Output

• \({V}\) = Wind velocity
• The output is an automatically generated generic response object, which takes the object name of the model plus “Response”.
