Pathfinder 2019.3

What's New

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

Changes since Pathfinder 2019.2.1002:

• Added ability to customize keyboard shortcuts through the Preferences dialog.
• Added a portable ZIP installer for Pathfinder.
• Added a Behavior Action to change Occupant Profile.
• Added an option to specify XY origin when importing CAD files.
• Improved the distribution of occupant locations across an occupant source region.
• Added the ability to manipulate object handles even when they are obscured by other objects.
• Renamed the action for selecting dependent items in a tree from Select Children to Select Subitems.
• Fixed an issue where single key shortcuts interrupted text field entry.
• Fixed an issue where Occupants requiring assistance could move until they request assistance.
• Fixed an issue where zooming in the simulator debug view wouldn't work correctly.
• Fixed a crash when grouped occupants from source have a Goto Room behavior.

Changes to Results:

• Added the ability to truncate FDS colorbars above or below specified upper or lower values.
• Added camera damping to Follow Cam.
• Added the ability to show/hide 3D Pathfinder doors.
• Added more settings to record in the Results Visualization file.
• Fixed an issue where character model, BWom0011, would be oriented incorrectly on a bed.
• Fixed an issue where performance slowed when showing the Nav Mesh and Pathfinder Geometry in a model with many animated doors.
• Fixed an issue where doors were not displayed with the opacity or color settings specified in Pathfinder.
• Fixed an issue where the visualization file must be saved twice before moving it to a new location.

Known Issues:

In simulations where non-default cylinder occupant sizes are used, running a simulation using the testsim.bat and a TXT input file can produce different results than running directly from within the Pathfinder user interface. A bug in the TXT file writer causes these sizes to be ignored. Users who run the simulation directly from the user interface are not affected.

Changes in Patch 2019.3.1217

• When running a simulation, a new output file simname_occupant_params.csv is now created. This file lists initial occupant parameters such as max speed and size.
• Fixed a bug where cylinder shape parameters might not be written to the TXT file used with testsim.bat.
• Fixed a bug where non-default cylinder occupant sizes in the TXT file used with testsim.bat may not exactly match those used when running directly from the Pathfinder user interface.
