Currently, MFILE.DATs only contain values to 5 significant figures. This is a substantial loss of the precision afforded by double floats, which have a machine epsilon $\epsilon_m \approx 2.22e-16$. This means that 17 significant figures are required to fully represent the precision of the doubles used in Process.
The OUT.DAT is human-readable so can be formatted; the MFILE.DAT should contain full precision. This is necessary to ensure a precise definition of the solution optimisation parameter vector in the MFILE, which is important for reliability analysis studies.
