<H3>timestep command
</H3>
<P><B>Syntax:</B>
</P>
<PRE>timestep dt
</PRE>
<UL><LI>dt = timestep size (time units)
</UL>
<P><B>Examples:</B>
</P>
<PRE>timestep 2.0
timestep 0.003
</PRE>
<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Set the timestep size for subsequent molecular dynamics simulations.
See the <A HREF = "units.html">units</A> command for a discussion of time units.
Note that using the units command also sets the timestep to its
default value in the chosen units.
</P>
<P>When the run style is <I>respa</I>, dt is the timestep for the outer loop
(largest) timestep.
