Configuration File

This section summarises the structure of the information necessary to define the different input data to be used with the OpenQuake engine hazard and risk calculators, i.e. the so called job.ini configuration file.

The configuration file is the primary file controlling both the definition of the input model as well as parameters governing the calculation. We illustrate in the following different examples of the configuration file addressing different types of seismic hazard and risk calculations. Each calculator has its own specific parameters, however there are a few parameters which are common to all calculators, so they will be explained first.

• Common hazard parameters
  • general
  • geometry
  • site conditions
• Classical PSHA
  • logic-tree
  • calculation
  • output
• Seismic Hazard Disaggregation
  • geometry
  • disaggregation
• Event based PSHA

• Scenario Hazard
  • station_data
  • Ground motion models
