find minima in 3D function/matrix

I have data points (Z-values) of a area (-2:0.1:2) and would like to find the positions of both minima.

[X,Y]=meshgrid(-2:0.1:2);
Z=(X.*Y.*exp(-(X.^2)-(Y.^2))); % this is my 3D function
min(Z);      % delivers a vector of the minimum in every column
MinV=min(min(Z)); % delivers the value we are looking for
find (Z==MinV); & gives two arguments

Q1: How to interpret the result of find? Q2: It is not the single (?) index of the element in the matrix, how can I get the indices?

(Sorry guys, I was looking for a solution but many problems are more complex.... and I am a beginner) Thany you for suggestions/help!

Joachim, use instead

 [r,c] = find(Z==MinV) % gives two arguments
 r =
    28
    14
 c =
    14
    28

which will also return two values each (the row and column numbers) since there seem to be two minima. The two values you receive with your code are the indices of the minima if you count through the rows and columns of the matrix

 13*41 + 28 = 561
 27*41 + 14 = 1121
