 | <td colspan="3">\* Particles selection is done when simulation reaches the time that is specified by `startTime` of the post-process component and this selection remains intact up to the end of simulation. This is very good for particle tracking purposes or when you want to analyze specific particles behavior over time.</td> |

When using `GaussianDistribution` as `processMethod`, a larger neighbor radius is considered for each cell and particles inside this neighbor radius are included in the calculations.</td> |
 
+### output format
+
+The output format of the postprocessing results can be controlled by the `precision` and `scientific` parameters:
+
+- `precision`: Number of decimal places for the output (defualt is 6).
+- `scientific`: Whether to use scientific notation for large numbers (options: `yes`, `no`, default is `yes`).
+
+for example, if you want to use 5 decimal places and no scientific notation, you can set:
