Ventana software support forum

Hello, we've only just noticed that Vensim is only calculating 6 significant figures. Is there a way to adjust this? We can't seem to find it in the model settings or options.

It calculates in double precision, but the Table tool truncates the precision. You can change this by right-clicking the tool for options. If you switch to "Scientific" you can use C printf-style format strings to set the precision.

The dll has separate functions for single and double output.

If you're seeing this somewhere else, like export, let us know and there may be something we can adjust.

Thanks for this. We have tried adjusting the printf-style (e.g. putting %.12f in the box to the right of "Scientific") but the table feature continues to only output 6 significant figures

It's working for me, but I'm using a recent alpha build. I think that means we've fixed it for the next release, but I'll double check.
