Application of the developed simulation codes to earthquake and tsunami damage prediction methods aiming for formulating damage estimates by the government.
・We aim for applying the simulation codes based on large-scale finite element modeling that we developed in “Post-K Priority Issue 3” to long-period seismic ground motion analysis and tsunami source estimation carried out for damage estimates by the government. For this purpose, we make necessary improvements to the developed simulation codes in cooperation with national agencies.
・We develop a computing platform on which construction and civil engineering companies can use the same framework of earthquake and tsunami damage prediction as used in damage estimates by the government.

Development of computational methods for large-scale computation aiming for earthquake damage prediction
・We develop and improve the computational methods for large-scale computation aiming for earthquake damage prediction. The state-of-the-art techniques of computational and computer science are applied to achieve high-performance computation using Fugaku.
