Pathfinder 2018.3.0730

What's New

This version of Pathfinder uses version 1.8.0_172 of the Java VM.

Changes since Pathfinder 2018.2.0417:

• Occupant profiles now include an option to use a reduced diameter when moving through narrow geometry (e.g. stadium aisles).
• Console-based support for Monte Carlo simulation copying, randomization, and running is now available through provided script files.
• Doors can be set to introduce per-use wait times, both constant and from distribution. This can be used to model doors with varying delays (e.g. access control card with occasional swipe errors.)
• An additional 3D model is now available: construction worker.
• On laptops with a discrete GPU, Pathfinder will try to use the discrete GPU rather than the integrated Intel graphics.
• Added GPU information to the Preferences and About dialogs.
• Removed the ability to create tours directly in Pathfinder, as this can now be done in the results.
• Fixed a bug that could cause Pathfinder to crash when selecting a door after loading a legacy PTH file.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the simulator to crash when using both groups and assisted evacuation.
• Fixed a bug that could cause occupants to become stuck on stairs that contained near vertical triangles.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the simulator to crash when assisted evacuation agents queued at doors.
• Fixed a crash that could occur importing FBX, DAE, and OBJ files if the file path contains certain characters.

Changes to Results:

• Views, tours, and section boxes can now be created directly within Results. This data can also be exchanged between results using an import feature.
• Automated the creation of screenshots (still images) from various views and playback times.
• Added support for visualization of cell-centered 2d and 3d slices.
• Added the ability to change the unit for concentration from mol/mol to ppm and the unit for temperature from °C to °F.
• Added the ability to show a Calendar date and time in the 3D View in addition to time offset.
• Occupant paths can now be colored by group or by group template.
• Improved rendering performance for occupant paths.
• Activating occupant paths can now be cancelled if loading times are slow.
• Added toolbar button to reset the view to the current selection.
• Pressing Enter now commits spinner field values.
• Added the ability to specify a 2d slice through a 3d dataset as an axis-aligned value.
• On laptops with a discrete GPU, Results will try to use the discrete GPU rather than the integrated Intel graphics.
• Added GPU information to the Preferences and About dialogs.
• Fixed a bug where cell-centered boundary results would display incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug that would cause results data to appear shrunk toward the center of the mesh by a half mesh cell when rendering the following results types: Smoke, fire, volumetric 3d datasets, 2d slices through 3d datasets.
• Fixed a bug using the compatibility renderer for volumetric 3d datasets that could cause gaps in the rendering.
• Fixed a crash when displaying FDS objects that use multiple surfaces as outlines.
• Fixed a bug that could cause Results to use the wrong texture origin.
• Fixed a bug causing occupant paths to not be clipped by the active section box.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when plotting a 2d slice through a 3d dataset using the compatibility renderer.
• Fixed a bug where the application might hang when trying to use the FDS results action, "Cache results for smooth playback".
• Fixed a bug that caused the slice properties editor to reset the slice value when editing the offset.
• Fixed a bug where occupant contours sometimes show data when the playback time is outside the occupants' time range.
• Fixed a bug causing occupant paths to not refresh along with other results while the Pathfinder simulation is ongoing.
• Fixed a bug where the wrong occupant paths might be showing if the Pathfinder results is replaced with another result set.
• Fixed a bug where occupant contours might not be colored correctly when the colorbar is hidden.
