I.4.1.2 “Values”

The values of Result are characterized by an integer value (32 bits integer) and one or several real values. The integer value corresponds to the coordinate system into which the components are expressed:

Obviously, for several types of coordinate system, the values must be attached to an element to make sense. This is the case for “elemIJK”, “plyCS”, “matCS”, “elemCS”,...

The real values correspond to the components:

Note that the name of the components given above matter, as they may be used to extract a single component out of a vectorial or tensorial Result. For Complex Result, the numbers of components mentioned above is multiplied by two. They are presented in the following order:

The components are stored in single precision real values (float coded on 32 bits). This means that there is no advantage at using double precision real values in your programming as far as the manipulation of results is concerned.
