Did something change with the Astar travel algorithm in 24.1. It seems there are times a member takes a long time to deallocate a node. This is causing major traffic jams in my model. Sorry had to blank out the images
24.1 Astar Node deallocation
FlexSim 24.1.0
We have received the model through email and confirmed that the behavior looks like a bug. This has been submitted to the development team for further investigation.
Hi @JP117, my first thought is this could be related to acceleration/deceleration that was added to A* in one of the recent versions of the software. But that usually changes how far in advance travel members will allocate nodes as opposed to when they deallocate nodes. You can try to set the acceleration and deceleration on your travel members to 0 (from within their Properties) to see if that makes a difference.
Otherwise, would you be able to attach a model that shows this behavior? If not the model from your screenshot, are you able to replicate the issue in a smaller example model that you could upload? I haven't been able to replicate it myself, so I'm guessing we won't be able to figure out the issue without being able to take a look at a model.
