Thunderhead Engineering Pathfinder 2024.1

Pathfinder, a product of Thunderhead Engineering, is a useful software for simulating manpower depletion of various possibilities. Using this program, a population of people can be evacuated from a specific place under certain critical conditions, such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, and this simulation is performed based on various parameters.

Characteristics of individuals, involving stress and personal injury and blocking exit routes and…. Unlike flow-based or cell-based models, this software, by taking advantage of modern research techniques and capabilities of the game industry and computer graphics, performs realistic simulations to make its applications more tangible and closer to reality. And is not just pure computational and simulation software.

Pathfinder provides the essential tools for making the right decisions when designing systems resistant to various disasters, including fire. With multivariate simulations and changes in people’s characteristics, different scenarios can be examined, and finally, critical boundaries, minimums, maximums, and pessimistic and optimistic states can be predicted and resolved.

Pathfinder is a factor-based simulator (the agent here is human), each person enters the simulation environment based on a set of parameters and individual characteristics and has their own decisions, the issue along with an Advanced motion system and 3d modeling this product, unlike other competitors, provide us with more realistic simulations.
