Dear Nino,
I am sending you the mat2txt function which converts a .mat file to txt
You use the function like this:
%first you load your .mat file into Matlab
load something.mat;
%you should get 2 variables called "grid" and "refvec"
%then you call the function
mat2txt('something.mat',grid,refvec);
this will produce 'something.txt' file as X Y Z
2. This is a problem because the IMPE (intensity prediction equation) you choose
requires also PGV. (Atkinson Kaka, only PGV; Wald PGV and PGA). So you need to have
also another variable called gmpe_out.pgv in your custom GMPE file.
