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 a discussion of time units.
The default value for the timestep 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:]
timestep = 0.005 tau for units = lj
timestep = 1.0 fmsec for units = real
timestep = 0.001 psec for units = metal
timestep = 1.0e-8 sec (10 nsec) for units = si or cgs :all(b)
