Displaying numerical values ​​in Simulation is annoying

Do you know, that… ?

By displaying simulation results in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, they will be shown as mathematical, that is, with a symbol “e”. You can easily convert the values ​​by moving the comma to the right (e positive) or left (e with a negative sign).

For example, the stress described as 4.57e + 08 is 457000000 [N/m^2]. In our system, it is also good to change the unit to MPa, it will then be displayed 457 [MPa].

You can easily change both settings into Chart settings or by simply double-clicking on the chart.number format

However, to avoid the need to change each time, you can change it permanently in options. You will find the options in the Simulation menu > Options. Then in the tab Default options > colors (not the Graph) find the Number Format item and change with there Mathematical on Floating point.
