<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 the time units associated with
each choice of units that LAMMPS supports.
</P>
<P>The default value for the timestep size also depends on the choice of
units for the simulation; see the default values below.
</P>
<P>When the <A HREF = "run_style.html">run style</A> is <I>respa</I>, dt is the timestep for
the outer loop (largest) timestep.
</P>
<P><B>Restrictions:</B> none
