Capacity factor by mass

Capacity Factor by Mass (%) allows for passengers not loading the elevators to their rated capacity.

When the Analysis type is Enhanced up peak or General analysis you do not need to enter a value. As you are entering details of how many passengers are using the elevators, Elevate will calculate the resulting Capacity Factor by Mass. When the Analysis type is Simulation, if the Capacity Factor by Mass is x%, a passenger will not enter the car if, by doing so, the car will be greater than x% full by weight. In these instances, Elevate assumes that passengers will wait for the elevator doors to close, and for the elevator to depart before re-registering their hall call.
