Tool for generating target spectrum-compatible fully-nonstationary artificial seismic ground motions
The produced suites of ground motions can match a given target mean spectrum and target variability for the whole period range of interest.
Works also for zero variability, i.e. only mean matching

Needs to login to a MATLAB account, the working interface is this:
- The target spectrum can be a smooth code spectrum or a GMM
- Variability can be obtained from a GMM
- Spectral correlation between periods can be taken into account
- There are two variants for the probabilistic generation of the artificial accelerograms
- The new time-modulating function proposed in Yanni H., Fragiadakis M., and Mitseas I.P. Probabilistic generation of hazard-consistent suites of fully non-stationary seismic records.
