"""
Prints a card in 8-character of 16-character Nastran format.
Parameters
----------
fields : list[int/float/str/None]
all the fields in the BDF card (no trailing Nones)
size : int; default=8
the size of the field (8/16)
is_double : bool; default=False
is the card double precision?
Double precision applies to specific cards and turns
1.234E+5 into 1.234D+5. Applies to GRID, CORDx only?
Returns
-------
card : str
string representation of the card
.. note:: be careful of using is_double on cards that aren't
GRID or CORDx
