Understanding Log files in SACS

How do we log files in decimals. It seems that all these values are stored as hexadecimal system. I tried converting those, but doesn't match. Can anyone help me with this? I am attaching a sample log file.

JOINT ABSOLUTE 0 CWT4 0 (m) 0x40926666 (m) 0x41d8eb85 (m) 000000 1

Here I am adding a joint named CWT4 at co ordinate (0,4.575,27.115) it runs fine when imported but i am not sure how to convert those hex decimals.

  • These hex values are not representations of the decimal value of the coordinate, but a representation of the binary data used to define the point, so there isn't really a way to get 4.575 from 0x40926666. If you want to do manual modifications of the log file it needs to be on a line by line basis.

    We are currently working on a Python API which will be able to create and modify input model files from a script, but this isn't in any released version yet. Stay posted on our latest release updates for this.
