5 Software Change History
5.1 Changes from ART 2
• Multiple time-histories can be selected for importation
into ART.
• Absolute and relative input energy spectra can be
computed, plotted and exported.
• Drift spectra for a cantilever shear-beam can be
computed, plotted and exported.
• Various strong-motion parameters based on cycle
counting can be computed and exported.
• Various additional strong-motion parameters can be
computed and exported.
• Graphs can be customized in more ways compared to
ART2.0.
• Records and derived parameters can be exported in
Microsoft Excel .xls and Matlab .mat format.
• Basic database functionality was added so that
earthquake and station meta-data can be recorded and
used.
• Comparisons can be made between observed elastic
response spectra and spectra predicted by various
ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) and seismic
design codes.
• Time-histories can be plotted on to maps to show the
geographical distribution of ground motions.
• The software now supports accessing modem-connected
instruments.
• The code was made more efficient leading to better
performance.
• The software was made more user-friendly
.
