Hello!

Our simulation is running without errors. I want to understand some points there:

1. What are 'total number of individuals' in industrial, commercial and home-based ELCM? We have the following total numbers: 152317 industrial, 152442 commercial and 73647 home-based. The sum of them all is 378406, which is much lower than the number of movers that equals to 530103 (the result of the Employment Relocation Model). As I understand, we have 530103 jobs (new and relocated), which should be moved to gridcells. The 'total number of individuals' in ELCM is not the same? Industrial, commercial and home-based jobs are distinguished by building_type? In this case governmental building_type is not considered?

2.  What is 'number of scalable jobs' in the Scaling Jobs Model and the Distribute Unplaced Jobs Model? We have 151697 and 228799 respectively. As I understand, jobs are relocated within sectors according to distribution of existing jobs in the former model and randomly in the latter model. At the same time I see that the building_type is used in both cases. So, jobs are relocated considering sector_id or building_type or both? In our case I again can't find a link between the number of jobs, which should be moved (within sectors or building types), and the numbers of scalable jobs.
