How to change the number of significant digits in the exported near fields file in Altair FEKO.
Hello everyone. I am looking for your help.
I've tried absolutely everything and can't find any information. When exporting near fields (*.efe and *.hfe) the number of digits after the decimal point is always 8, I need to increase it to 16. In the settings of the solver I specified to save data with double arithmetic precision ("Data storage precision").

Yes, you are right, that was my question. But I lost access to that account and, unfortunately, could not continue the conversation. In any case, the answer to my question is not provided in your link. I need to increase the number of significant digits in the output file to monitor a small parameter change. The question is still relevant. Thank you in advance.

It is not possible to increase the number of significant digits saved in the output file. As mentioned in the initial discussion.

Are you absolutely sure about this? My doubts arise from the fact that when I use the application macro in POSTFEKO "Export Graph Data to DAT File," I get an exported file with 13 decimal places. Obviously, these are some script settings. Isn't there a way to increase these values to the full precision of double arithmetic?
