Pathfinder 2018.2.0329

What's New

This version of Pathfinder uses version 1.8.0_162 of the Java VM.

Changes since Pathfinder 2018.1.1220:

• A behavior action can now be used to switch to other behaviors based on statistical distributions.
• Added support for PSM files created by PyroSim 2018.1
• Detailed occupant output can now be collected into a single CSV file rather than one per occupant.
• When using FDS output to calculate FED, a hypoxia threshold can now be specified to prevent slow accumulation of FED due to low-oxygen hypoxia in non-hazardous conditions.
• When calculating FED, FED no longer accumulates for occupants outside an FDS mesh.
• Improved adherence to specified distributions when distributing profiles and behaviors to small numbers of occupants.
• When creating movement groups, can now choose to leave some occupants out of groups.
• Fixed door switching bug when minimum flowrate is set to 0.
• Fixed a bug where Z locations of occupants in elevators weren't being tracked in occupant CSV file.
• Fixed a bug where materials with a texture and opacity less than 100% appear opaque instead of translucent.

Changes to Results:

• Objects in the Pyrosim geometry file now appear and disappear based on FDS control logic.
• Improved shading of occupants. Clothes look "cleaner" and occupants brighter.
• Hardware accelerated occupant display now works on Intel GPUs for improved performance.
• Hardware accelerated occupant display is now available for newer AMD drivers - previously some updated AMD drivers required software rendering.
• Improved object outline visibility when using transparency.
• Boundary quantities are no longer shown over OPEN vents.
• Mesh outline visibility is now enabled by default.
• Slice vectors thickness can now be increased to support high resolution screenshots.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when there was only one isosurface.
• Fixed bugs that could cause missing display of boundary quantities when using multiple meshes.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if manually hidden obstructions were activated via control logic.
• Fixed a bug that could cause errors when opening FDS results if the SMV file contains certain non-ASCII characters.
• Fixed a bug where a boundary quantity for an activated obstruction might show at the wrong time.
• Fixed a bug where materials with a texture and opacity less than 100% appear opaque instead of translucent.
