Hi, I run your model nr 7 and get a lot of errors saying: PD error 1001: Invalid start location This 1001 error means that you want to generate agents at a location that is not inside the walkable space. To check the available walkable space you can do the following: go to the menu Display, then cli...

Could you please attach your model so we can check what's going wrong?

Hi, I would suggest to make two separate Agent_Generators instead of just one: 1. a generator for departing passengers. This generator releases agents randomly over time (using the delay). They wait in the waiting area until they get triggered by the train. 2. the other generator for arriving passen...

Hi, You missed a tiny, but in this case important step: on the train exit the option "Store approaching agents" needs to be selected. See the tab Location. Why: in the availability control the model uses the function ActivityLocation_TriggerAllApproachingAgents to trigger the agents that a...

Hello William, To open a citygml file in Pedestrian Dynamics the following should be done: - The citygml file will be attached as a drawing file to one of the height layers in your Pedestrian Dynamics model. - So: start a new model, then select a height layer in the list of height layers and click o...

Hi Zen-Mari, I usually have the following approach to solve these kind of errors: - Using the option Show Location in the menu Modeling >Show Location, it is possible to easily look up the exact locations that are mentioned in the error tracer. - In this case it looks as if the destination location ...

Hi Zen-Mari, What happens is the following: - A row in the arrivallist of the agent generator has a Creation Time and a Number of Agents. - The Creation Time is applied to all the agents for that row of the arrivallist. This creation time can be a random value, like the way you used a uniform distri...

Hi Zen-Mari, It looks as if the agents do not really reach their destination. This can happen when the destination location (so the x,y,z destination of the agent) is to close to an obstacle. In this case the activity locations that have these problems are quite small and therefore this problem will...

Hi Zen-Mari, Is there any message in the error window or tracer window (to be found in menu Tools > Tracer and Tools > Error Monitor)? Maybe the agents cannot find a route to the exit. It would be nice if you could attach your model, so we can easier check what's going wrong. Kind Regards, Marlies

Hi Sebass, It is true that jpg files cannot be added to a height layer as a background in 3D. Jpg is not the best format to use as a background, because it doesn't contain vector information and good scaling is difficult. However it is possible to visualize a jpg in 3D. To do that: go to the Texture...
