Releases: BauhausLuftfahrt/PAXelerate
PAXelerate v1.2
This release includes support for CPACS 3.4 as well as various bug fixes.
The following key breaking changes have been made:
- Introduction of CPACS 3.4 with easier and better cabin modelling logic.
- Adjustment of y location of all cabin components to no longer be the center front point. This means all objects need to be shifted by half their width.
PAXelerate v1.1
This release includes the contact tracing model used for COVID-19 impact assessment during the boarding process. It was implemented for a presentation at the "Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress 2021" called "BOARDING ASSESSMENT AND COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE AVACON AIRCRAFT CABIN CONCEPTS".
The following key changes have been made:
- Introduction of a global new contact tracing map
- Methodology for each passenger to track contacts to other passengers with distance and duration
- Export of contact tracing data
PAXelerate v1.0
This is the version 1.0 release of PAXelerate! Check out the key change bewow:
- Removal of all openCDT dependencies
- Removal of custom EMF aircraft model library
- Introduction of CPACS as input data structure
- Focus on boarding simulation, hence removal of UI and cabin configuration options for now
Stability and performance enhancements for PAXelerate
Release Notes – Version 0.7 Alpha
This release focused on stability and performance issues, especially in terms of batch simulation capabilities. Improvements on the thread handling allow to run multiple iterations with the SDK version. This is also the first release which is compatible with MacOS.

New features for the PAXelerate client version
Release Notes – Version 0.6 Alpha

- #82 Exception is thrown when launching PAXelerate for the first time
- #75 Simulation: pathfinding cannot be iniated
- #71 Performance Issues During Simulation
- #23 Check monument dimensions != 0
- #21 Simulation view and cabin view are mirror-inverted
- #17 Scale aircraft image according to view width
- #16 Fixed diagonal walking of agents
- #8 Switch all x and y assignments for the vector class
UI improvements
- #104 Provide more information in dialog CloneObject
- #81 Added menu to add views
- #78 Prohibit selection of top level meta model elements in model explorer
- #64 Change discription and output of ConsoleView
- #47 Harmonize icons design
- #36 Reorganize simulation properties
- #32 WelcomePage: Additional Info to Get Started
- #15 Reorder parameter for re-positioning
- #14 Row cloning function
- #12 Create keyboard shortcuts for context menus
- #7 Show Units for each variable in the Model Explorer
Model improvements
