Pathfinder 2015.2.1012

What's New

This version of Pathfinder uses version 1.8.0_60 of the Java VM.

Changes since Pathfinder 2015.1.0520:

• Improved movement algorithms, including counterflow and group cornering.
• Added ability to customize maximum speeds on stairs and ramps - user can now specify up and down speeds independently in terms of occupant density and component slope.
• Updated the PSM importer to support PyroSim 2015.3.0810 files.
• Updated the DWG and DXF importer to support AutoCAD 2016 files.
• Updated the Java Runtime Environment to 1.8.0_60.
• Added software update notifications.
• Added ability to flatten rooms and other geometry.
• Added statistics to summary file for distance traveled (minimum, maximum, and average).
• Reduced simulation startup time for models with many connected components.
• Reduced simulation snapshots to a single file.
• Enhanced debug view to show additional information and provide more simulation control.
• Reduced time to add many thousands of occupants to a single room.
• Reduced time to open models that have many thousands of occupants in a single room.
• Fixed a bug that could cause occupants to overlap with those in front of them in a queue.
• Fixed a bug where occupants could become stuck when their comfort distance is very small.
• Fixed a bug where occupants assigned to an elevator that picks them up on a different floor might skip the elevator and use stairs instead.
• Fixed bugs where occupants could become stuck in various situations.
• Fixed a crash that could occur if an elevator is disabled or deleted.
• Fixed a bug in the 3D results where resetting the view in one of the 2D views would zoom in too far when contours or FDS slices are enabled.
• Fixed a crash that could occur copying a graph image from 2D results.
• Fixed an issue trying to draw doors where the door tool would snap to another nearby wall.
• Fixed a crash that could occur if you try to drag an item into Pathfinder from another application.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when drawing a room.
• Fixed a crash that could occur in the material dialog.
• Fixed an issue where Pathfinder could become non-responsive after starting a simulation.
• Fixed an issue when adding occupants to some rooms, where the occupants would not be distributed evenly.
• Fixed an issue with stairs collapsing after being drawn.
• Fixed a bug where an occupant's active time might be reported as higher than the exit time in the "_occupants.csv" file.
• Fixed a crash that could occur if a zero value was entered for stair rise.
