GroundMotion

GroundMotion(self, accel, dt, name='None')

Ground Motion Record.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
accel	np.ndarray or list	Ground motion acceleration record in g.	required
dt	float	Time step of the record (s).	required
name	str	Name of the record (default is ‘None’).	`'None'`

Name	Type	Description
