How to set the simulation time dt through script of client?

[Hacher]

The simulation velocity of dt can be changed in the 'simulation setup' dialog box, it's there any function like 'sim.startsimulation' that allow me to change the simulation velocity through script in the python client

Hello,

try with sim.setFloatProperty(sim.handle_scene, "timeStep", 0.01)
Just make sure simulation is not yet running.

Encounter an error when I try to use

Code: Select all

sim.setFloatProperty(sim.handle_scene, "timeStep", 0.01)

:

Exception: 347: in sim.setFloatProperty: unknown property.

What CoppeliaSim version are you running? What does it print when you type:

Code: Select all

sim.getProperties(sim.handle_scene)

The version I am using is 4.7.0, I encounter error:
AttributeError: type object 'sim' has no attribute 'getProperties'

If you want to change the timestep with versions prior to V4.9, use:

Code: Select all

sim.setFloatParam(sim.floatparam_simulation_time_step, 0.01)

Cheers
