Invalid damping values error

[geoport]

For a soil layer with the following properties I get "ValueError: The provided damping values must be between [0, 100]." error. Thk : 7 m Vs : 300 m/s Damping : 2% Density : 1500 kg/m3

Hi, could you provide more details for me to reproduce this issue? For example, the code and/or data files you were using.

Thanks!

You can try to run Pipeline_05_Nonlinear_Method.ipynb with the following vs_profile

vs_matrix = np.array([[7, 300, 0.01, 1500, 1]])
vs_profile = Vs_Profile(vs_matrix,add_halfspace=True)

after running

sim_results = nl_sim.run(
      show_fig=True, 
      save_txt=False, 
      remove_sim_dir=True,
  )

it throws ValueError: The provided damping values must be between [0, 100]. error. I know how to disable this error but I wonder if I should.

Hello, this has been addressed in #22 .

From the notes: For nonlinear simulations, the dummy curves for ggmax and xi are now created separately from their corresponding calibrated parameters. The values contained in these dummy curves are not consequential for the simulations, but previously both the ggmax and xi curves were generated off of only the ggmax parameters. This would occasionally trigger a ValueError related to unrealistic damping values, since the ggmax parameters are only calibrated to guarantee the shape of the ggmax curve.
