There is 'match solving step size with report step' in RecurDyn.
It is used to print value at report step. If we do not use it, there is possibility that there is no value at the report step, because RecurDyn uses implicit integrator.
But, is there any other effect on solving?
There is important effect on solving step size.
The report step is decided by End time, step, and plot multiplier step factor.
[report step]=[end time] / [step] x [plot multiplier step factor]
If the values are as shown above, report step would be 4e-6. It is decided as 'Maximum Time Step' even though you have different value. For example, you set 1.e-4 as this value like below.
If you use 'match solving step size with report step' as above, the maximum time step is 4e-6
You can find it in the message file as shown below.
