Questions about Measure function on SD5.1?

[jaedo Nam]

Hi all I need a help about SolidDesigner 5.1. When I generate some part and check the distance, result was incorrect. Sometimes the result was integer value, but the other case the value displayed "xx.99999 E-19"or "0.00000001E-12". I can't understand ,,, please advise to me.!!!

I think Sold Designer is only accuracte to 1E-14 and you a looking at 1E-20. Think about how small that is, its probably caused due to rounding in the mathematics. There is a tremendous amount of number crunching going on to show even the simplest part in a solid modeler.

Thank for your reply Then If I want to use integer value type, what I have to do(ex: "xx",not "xx.0000001E-xx). I want to use integer value. please advise to me. Thank You

The values displayed in the measure output fields are usually calculated. Even if SolidDesigner's modeling accuracy is 10E-6 these values may be less than that due to numerics. To avoid these problems displaying values less than 10E-6, the values shown in SD 6.0 are rounded. Please note, that only the displayed values are rounded and not the value which is taken if you hit "Apply". This value is still the correct value. That way we don't get round off problems during modeling operations.
