Issues with Examples 14 and 17 of R2D latest Version

[MelisaHQ]

Hi SimCenter team,

I'm reviewing the examples in the latest versions of R2D (May and June 2025) and have identified some problems.

June 2025 Version Does Not Include rWhale.py
The download of the June 2025 version from your website does not contain the rWhale.py file. This file is necessary for the examples' workflow. I had to copy it from an earlier version to proceed.

Example E17 Fails: Missing FoundationType Property Error
Example E17 (Earthquake Recovery using Pyrecodes) fails during the damage assessment with Pelicun3. The error indicates that the FoundationType property is required in the example's building input data, and it is not present.

Example E14: Persistent PermissionError
When running Example E14 ( Basic HAZUS Transportation Infrastructure), a PermissionError related to the pandana_stdout.txt file occurs during the "Performance Assessment" phase. This error persists despite attempting common solutions like restarting the system, trying on different machines, switching R2D versions, and disabling antivirus software...

Thanks for your assistance.

Dear Melisa,

Thanks for your report. There will be a new release of R2D Tool addressing both issues soon.

The Issue with example 17 is in fact a problem with data with the newer version of PELICUN. The updated version of PELICUN does not apply in assumption on asset data such as foundation type or design level. Thus, these data must be provided explicitly by the user. We have updated out example 17 to reflect that. I have attached the modified input file to this message for your convenience. Please download, unzip and open the "input.json" file to run Example 17.

The problem with Example 14 is the inability of a Python function in deleting a temporary file on Windows Machines. We have made patch to R2D tool code to fix the issue. I have added the patched file here for your convinience, while the new release addressing the issue is being published. You can either wait for the new version or just download the file, unzip "transportation.py" and copy and paste it to replace the file in [R2D Tool Folder]/applications/systemPerformance/ResidualDemand/transportation.py.
