STKO’s Domain Reduction Method

[Zouatine]

Dear All,

I am currently working on implementing the Domain Reduction Method (DRM) available in STKO, as demonstrated in the webinar. This approach requires an H5DRM file generated using the ShakerMaker module, which provides a set of input motions to excite the model.

I have attempted multiple times to install ShakerMaker within an Anaconda-created environment. I also tried running the code in Visual Studio Code, following the installation instructions provided on GitLab. However, I consistently encounter issues when executing the command:

sudo python setup.py install

The error appears to be related to the Fortran compiler. Since ShakerMaker contains components written in Fortran, it seems these parts are not functioning correctly. When I run the installation command, I receive the following error:

Would you assist me to resolve this issue ?

+ Can i use the DRM in STKO with another input type ? i mean like using a defined normal time serie ?

Thank you,

Dear user,
This is not an STKO-related question, so we cannot give you extensive help on this topic.

However, not that compiling shakermaker in python requires the F2PY module. It's a module used to compile fortran code and interface it with python.

As you can read in this documentation https://numpy.org/doc/stable/f2py/windows/index.html, Anaconda has F2PY with the MSYS2 MinGW compilers, which are outdated and not recommended.

I would suggest you to install Intel One API compilers and do it from your native python (not Anaconda), but be prepared because you need some experience with compiling code

Dear user. Creator of ShakerMaker here.

I do not use Windows with ShakerMaker at all. I know other users have (unsuccesfully) attempted compilation for windows. I haven't tried it myself. If you have success in this regard, I'd love to know about it. Please report as an issue on the project github.

Thank you!

Thank you for your response.

I think the easiest option for me was to use Linux; however, it was still challenging to find compatible versions of the other modules with ShakerMaker.

After getting ShakerMaker to run, I tried to replicate what was presented in the webinar, I still ran into some issues. Furthermore, when I tried to run the TCL files by copying the Solver and Santiago GM dataset, the model still did not run.

I have also opened this issue in another section of the forum:

Can you please take a look on the model ?

Thank you,
