How to release a people module resource

Hi,

We have made a really simple model with the people module.
The only problem is that the model stops running after the first person claimed the resource.
It does not really matter which resource it, in the example it is just some floor space.

After the person had some delay at the floor space we release the resource and destroy the person.
The thing is that the floor spot still has content, and is in state occupied.

How can we solve this problem. We want to avoid that we need to let the person walk to the exit. Lets say it goes in an elevator, or staircase where it disappears.

Thank you for your time.

Patrick

It looks like there is something about using a Remove Person activity right after a Release Location that causes the Release to not work correctly. If you put a Walk activity or a Move Object that moves the patient into the model in between the Release and the Remove, it seems to work they way it is supposed to.
