Field notes
The workflow starts with a building description or imported model, then adds a selected earthquake or blast and occupants placed in rooms. The page says the example simulation used a 0.011 ms time step and took 1 hour 32 minutes on one computer; a linked lab-check section is listed, but its contents are not included in the extract.
