E-02 and Similar
« on: February 13, 2013, 06:05:52 AM »
Hi, what does E-02 and similar mean in the context of vertex coordinates, example: *MESH_VERTEX   0   -1.565977E-02   1.999986E-03   -0.2426668


I am using a 3D point mapping application to map out components to make them easier to modify and I need to know what to put for these as it doesn't recognise it as a term. Thanks for any help.

Scientific notation. It's multiplied by 10^-2.

Copy/paste them to excel and change it to show as numbers.
