timestep command :h3
[Syntax:]
timestep dt :pre
dt = timestep size (time units) :ul
[Examples:]
timestep 2.0
timestep 0.003 :pre
[Description:]
Set the timestep size for subsequent molecular dynamics simulations.
See the "units"_units.html command for the time units associated with
each choice of units that LAMMPS supports.
The default value for the timestep size also depends on the choice of
units for the simulation; see the default values below.
When the "run style"_run_style.html is {respa}, dt is the timestep for
the outer loop (largest) timestep.
[Restrictions:] none
[Related commands:]
"fix dt/reset"_fix_dt_reset.html, "run"_run.html,
"run_style"_run_style.html respa, "units"_units.html
[Default:]

real : fmsec : 1.0 fmsec
metal : psec : 0.001 psec
