Plugins

LabRPS, like many modern design applications, is based on the concept of Plugin. A plugin can be considered as a set of tools specially grouped for a certain task.

In LabRPS, the same concept applies. Tools are provided through plugins. The plugins are in turn some collection of objects called RPS objects or RPS features.

Built-in plugins

The following plugins are bundled with every LabRPS installation: They are easily installable from within LabRPS, using the RPS Features..., found under menu Tools → RPS Features....

The WindLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of random wind velocity.

The SeismicLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of seismic ground motion.

The SeaLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of sea surface.

The UserLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of user defined random phenomenon.

Official plugins

The following plugins are officials plugins developed by LabRPS Team:

WindLab Plugins
- WindLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of random wind velocity.
- Correlation Ergodicity Plugin allows the user to check whether the simulated wind velocity is ergodic in terms of correlation.
- Deodatis and Shinozuka 1991 Plugin implements the simulation method presented in Deodatis and Shinozuka 1991.
- Ergodicity Check Tool Plugin is a tool to check the ergodicity of the simulated wind velocity (correlation and PSD)
- PDF Check Tool Plugin check the probability density function of the simulated wind velocity again the Weibul distribution.
- Cholesky Decomposition Plugin implements the well known cholesky decomposition.
- Randomness Providers Plugin implements various generator based on different distribution.
- Simulated Correlation Tool Plugin computes the correlation of the simulated wind velocity.
- Simulated Spectrum Tool Plugin computes the power spectral density of the simulated wind velocity
- WindLab Smelt Plugin implements the simulation method from the smelt project.

SeismicLab Plugins
- SeismicLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of seismic ground motion.
- Aspasia Zerva Plugin simulates seismic ground motion according to the method presented by Aspasia Zerva.
- SeismicLab Smelt Plugin implements the simulation method from the smelt project.

SeaLab Plugins
- SeaLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of sea surface.
- Data Reshaper Plugin allows to reshape simulated wind velocities(time by location) into grid (location by location)
- QBlade Plugin implements the simulation method from the QBlade project.

UserLab Plugins
- UserLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of user defined random phenomenon.
- Random Walk Plugin generates 2D random walks with rand velocity and random start point.

External plugins

The external plugins are developed by the LabRPS community. LabRPS plugins are easy to program, there are therefore many people developing additional plugins outside of the LabRPS main development area.

The external plugins can be obtained from this Github repository.

New plugins are always in development, stay tuned!
