Pathfinder
World’s first thermal design software for each level of engineering experience
Pedestrian movement clarity without complication
Simulate pedestrian evacuation and general crowd movement in stadiums, hospitals, skyscrapers, public transit, and more.
Create accurate, flexible, and professional pedestrian models
Import CAD geometry
Import the architect’s model in seconds. Automatically detect BIM data and
intelligently generate the navigation mesh, building objects, and
textures. Easily understand and navigate your model.
Design models intuitively
with people, doors, and navigable space. That’s all it takes to start
your first Pathfinder simulation. Layer in dynamic behaviors, complex
profiles, and detailed geometry one step at a time.
Combine ingress and egress
Design a start-to-finish occupancy scenario. Occupants can enter the space
with realistic adaptive behaviors. Building alarms can trigger and
control evacuation procedures. All in the same model.
Put the worries of an AHJ to rest. Answer all of their questions with
unprecedented clarity by creating plots and videos with advanced
controls and information overlays.

Evacuation, social distancing, and crowd management
Design a safer world
Pathfinder delivers agent-based simulation through an intuitive interface to output clear and detailed results.
Each occupant in a Pathfinder model is aware of their surroundings and
constantly recalculates their next step based on present information.
These decisions are informed by academic research and validation
testing. This process allows the Pathfinder simulation engine to model
realistic human behavior.
- Thunderhead Engineering
partners with leading researchers and hosts premier events to promote
further development of pedestrian movement understanding. - We validate and publish our own tests of Pathfinder against research data to ensure our tool can be trusted.
Pathfinder
scales to the size and complexity of your project. Simple experiments
can be setup in minutes. Pathfinder also pushes past the limits of other
tools with Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis, smoke contaminant
exposure, social distance modeling, and more.
Thunderhead
Engineering supports you every step of the way. Whether you want
in-depth training or self-taught materials, you can learn
performance-based design modeling with greater efficiency and
proficiency. We design our software for anyone to learn, and our
customers are delighted when our support team helps them succeed.
