Viewing Very Large and Very Small Numbers in Tool-Tips

GoldSim carries out all of its internal calculations using double precision numbers. In general, this means that GoldSim can internally handle absolute values as small as 2.2E-308 and as large as 1.8E+308. If you enter (or GoldSim calculates) a value whose absolute value is outside this range, the tool-tip for the element and the output will be displayed as 1.#INF (or –1.#INF).

Note: Although internal calculations are carried out using double precision numbers, results are only stored as single precision numbers (in order to reduce storage requirements). This means that when results are viewed in tables or charts , the range of absolute values that can be displayed is between 1.2E-38 and 3.4E38.
