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.
Cheers

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)
Cheers

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
