Smaller physics timestep

Post by Wilsonator »

Is is possible to reduce the physics engine time steps below 1e-4? I am running a simulation with time steps on the order of 1e-4 and I was trying to set the physics engine time step to 1e-5, but the setting would not stick and corrects to 1e-4.

Is this the hard lower limit in vrep?

Hello,

currently the smallest value is 1e-4. In next release, this will be 1e-5. The first impression is that Bullet/ODE might have some difficulties with such small time steps.

Cheers
