 The simulation did not run properly. Error/Exit code: 1

because I can not see which person exactly is causing the problem, I suspect it is the first that comes up after #64

  <person id="74">
     <plan>
       <act end_time="11:30:00" type="home" x="16.499358494" y="48.2836335954"/>
       <leg mode="car"/>
       <act end_time="13:30:00" type="leisure" x="16.4817842667" y="48.2915034833"/>
       <leg mode="car"/>
       <!--zweck chain: old z(70) - q(870) / w(50)-->
       <act end_time="14:00:00" type="leisure" x="16.4817842667" y="48.2915034833"/>
       <leg mode="walk"/>
       <!--zweck chain: old z(70) - q(50) / w(50)-->

       <act type="home" x="16.499358494" y="48.2836335954"/>
     </plan>
   </person>

but I have defined a default duration "typicalDuration" for leisure

• should that not remedy the situation?

Re: If no end-time or duration for an activity is provided but a default duration is, should tis work?

by Kai Nagel on 2016-08-30 13:20:33

Dear Gerald, the typical duration is only used for scoring.  In the plans file, for each plan

1. the first activity needs to have an endTime, 
2. all other ones except the last one either a duration or an endTime.  
3. (For the last activity of a plan, it does not matter.) 

Best wishes, Kai
