Pathfinder 2022.3.1207

What's New

This version of Pathfinder uses version 1.8.0_302 of the OpenJDK Java VM.

Changes since Pathfinder 2022.2.0803:

Drawing Tools

• Added support for middle mouse button panning when using 3D tools.
• Improved the Add Occupant Group tool to allow polygonal regions to be drawn in addition to rectangular regions.

Monte Carlo

• The Monte Carlo case generator can now change occupant profiles.
• The Monte Carlo case generator now randomizes occupant sources for each variation.
• Fixed a bug in the Monte Carlo utility that led to an ID mismatch in output CSV files.
• Fixed a bug with the Monte Carlo utility that would cause the _run.bat file to fail in cases with a large number of variations.

Occupant Sources

• Occupant sources can now be "randomized", which changes the distribution of profiles, behaviors, locations, and flowrates for generated occupants.
• Occupant sources can now specify an initial orientation for Occupants.
• Added the ability to specify a schedule of occupant insertion intervals for an occupant source.
• Added the ability to specify random insertion times for an occupant source using the new schedule feature. The insertion times can be based on a Poisson point process or can be scheduled randomly during the interval.
• Added the ability to calculate the initial orientation of occupants generated from an occupant source automatically.
• Added the ability to specify the insertion times and locations of individual occupants for an occupant source.
• Added a total predicted occupant count for selected occupant sources to the property panel.
• Added an occupant source option to emit occupants at max velocity, which is now enabled by default.

Import

• Added support for importing glTF 2.0 (Graphics Language Transmission Format)
• Added the ability to import a glTF file as an occupant avatar.
• Added the ability to import occupants by importing a CSV file containing their locations.

General Changes

• Added the ability to run all Pathfinder models in a directory from the command line.
• Added an option for wait behavior actions to specify how occupants should wait, such as avoiding other occupants (the existing behavior) or waiting without moving.
• Added a property panel entry that shows the number of occupant targets in selected target groups.
• Fixed a bug where root nodes in the navigation tree could be renamed.
• Fixed a bug that could cause occupants to walk upstairs to enter an elevator rather than entering on their current floor.
• Fixed an occasional crash in the simulator.
• Fixed a bug where some occupant profile properties entered while the English unit system was active would cause the incorrect values to be used in the simulator.

Changes to Results

• Added a display of the selected occupant ID in the information bar when selecting occupants in Results.
• Added the Find Occupant by ID dialog to find occupants in Results.
• Updated the skybox dialog to make live updates to the scene. The skybox toolbar button now opens the dialog instead of showing/hiding the skybox.
• Improved lighting when using image-based lighting and high dynamic range (HDR) skybox images with bright light sources.
• Added a dialog for editing the colorbar for occupant colorings.
• Made the colorbar for the active occupant coloring visible.
• Added new occupant contours for Congestion and Congestion[Maximum].
• Added a new occupant color By Congestion.
• Fixed a bug where background images cannot be shown.
