StandardEvent¶

class StandardEvent(*args)¶

Event defined in the standard space.

Available constructor:

StandardEvent(antecedent, comparisonOperator, threshold)

StandardEvent(event)

eventRandomVector: Physical event associated with the standard event to be created.

Notes

An event is defined as follows:

$\cD_f = \{\vect{X} \in \Rset^n \, / \, g(\vect{X},\vect{d}) \le 0\}$

where $\vect{X}$ denotes a random input vector, representing the sources of uncertainties, $\vect{d}$ is a determinist vector, representing the fixed variables and $g(\vect{X},\vect{d})$ is the limit state function of the model.

One way to evaluate the probability content $P_f$ of the event $\cD_f$ :

$P_f = \int_{g(\vect{X},\vect{d})\le 0}f_\vect{X}(\vect{x})\di{\vect{x}}$

is to use an isoprobabilistic transformation to move from the physical space to a standard normal space (U-space) where distributions are spherical (invariant by rotation by definition), with zero mean, unit variance and unit correlation matrix. The usual isoprobabilistic transformations are the Generalized Nataf transformation and Rosenblatt transformation.

In that new U-space, the event can be expressed in terms of the transformed limit state function of the model $g$

$\cD_f = \{\vect{U} \in \Rset^n \, | \, g(\vect{U}\,,\,\vect{d}) \le 0\}$

Examples

A StandardEvent created from a limit state function :

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> myFunction = ot.SymbolicFunction(['E', 'F', 'L', 'I'], ['-F*L^3/(3*E*I)'])
>>> myDistribution = ot.Normal(4)
>>> vect = ot.RandomVector(myDistribution)
>>> output = ot.CompositeRandomVector(myFunction, vect)
>>> myStandardEvent = ot.StandardEvent(output, ot.Less(), 1.0)

A StandardEvent based on an event :

>>> myEvent = ot.ThresholdEvent(output, ot.Less(), 1.0)
>>> myStandardEvent = ot.StandardEvent(myEvent)
