Hi Brian,
Thanks for pointing out this limitation. Unfortunately, in the example you give, SAM uses 0.8 rather than 0.84. We'll fix that in the next update.
UPDATE (AUG 20 2015): SAM 2015.6.30 r2 FIXES THE DECIMAL POINTS ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE "TERMS OF AGREEMENT" INPUTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PARAMETRIC AND STOCHASTIC SIMULATIONS. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO FIX THAT ISSUE.
In the meantime, you can use these instructions replace the user interface file for that page:
Download the user interface file for the third party ownership financial parameters page (
UI 4.77 KB
).
If SAM is running, close it.
Replace the file with the same name in your SAM installation: /runtime/ui/Financial Third Party Ownership.ui
In Windows, by default, the file is in C:/SAM/2015.6.30/runtime/ui.
In OS X, to find the file, start the Finder, and control-click the SAM app to show package contents and find the file under Contents.
Start SAM, and create or open a third party ownership project. You should now be able to enter as many digits as you like for the PPA price.
Sorry about that!
Best regards,
Paul.
