set_probabilistic_data(point_of_vertical, residual_settlement, maximum_number_of_samples, maximum_iterations, reliability_type, is_reliability_calculation)

Set calculation options for probabilistic calculation.

Parameters:

  • point_of_vertical (Point) – Select point that correspond to a defined vertical for the reliability analysis.

  • residual_settlement (float) – For FORM and Monte Carlo methods, the allowed residual settlement can be set.

  • maximum_number_of_samples (int) – The number of samples that the Monte Carlo method will use.

  • maximum_iterations (int) – The maximum number of iterations for the FORM method.

  • reliability_type (ProbabilisticCalculationType) –

    Select one of the following methods

    • SettlementsDeterministic: a regular deterministic settlement analysis along all verticals, based on fixed mean values of the parameters.

    • BandWidthOfSettlementsFOSM: Quick and approximate determination of the bandwidth and the influencing factors (parameter

      sensitivity) for the total settlements along one vertical. The determination is executed at user defined time points and at the time points of measurements. Calculation time will increase with an increasing number of stochastic parameters.

    • ProbabilityOfFailureFORM: Iterative determination of the reliability index, bandwidth and influencing factors for the residual

      settlement along one vertical. A separate FORM analysis is performed for each residual settlement that starts from each different user defined time point. Calculation time will increase with an increasing number of stochastic parameters, user defined time points and iterations. Furthermore, the FORM method is only conditionally stable.

    • BandWidthAndProbabilityOfFailureMonteCarlo: Determination of the bandwidth for the total settlements along one vertical, and also of the reliability index

      and bandwidth for the residual settlements, by repetitive execution of settlement analyses (sampling). Each sample is executed with random parameter values, derived from the stochastic distributions. Calculation time will increase with the number of samples. Accurate Monte Carlo analysis requires a large number of samples, if many stochastic parameters are involved.

  • is_reliability_calculation (bool) – set to True if a probabilistic calculation should be performed.
