Application Setup Calculations Page

The Calculations page of the Application Setup is where you set various calculation options, such as the numerical precision used in the software and whether to use identical block simplification by default for new diagrams.

Precision to Be Displayed on Calculations
- Use Displayed math precision to set the number of decimal places shown in results and plots. Please note that the tolerance on the precision is limited by Windows to 15 digits.
- Use Scientific notation tolerance (10^?) to set the point at which the software will switch to scientific notation. For example, if the scientific notation tolerance is set to 5, then any number that is larger than 105 will be displayed using scientific notation.
Use the Precision for Convergence Criteria slider to set the tolerance that will be used as the convergence limit (degree of accuracy) for mathematical iterations (e.g., a value of 4 indicates 1E-4 tolerance).
Other Options
- Select the Use identical block simplification by default for new diagrams option to use identical block simplification for analytical diagrams. This is useful when analyzing large diagrams that contain a lot of the same blocks. You can also select to use identical block simplification from the analysis settings page for analytical diagrams.
- By default, lambda is used as the scale parameter of the exponential distribution. Select Use mean time for the exponential distribution if you prefer to use MTTF (1/lambda) instead.
