Definition of Time Steps

The following figure illustrates the differences in a small model between:

Sample Time
Run Time
Measurement Time

 

Time Step definition

 

The 'Run Time' is dependent of:

Computer power
Model complexity
Solver complexity and accuracy

The 'Sample Time' has an impact on the accuracy of the simulation. A larger sample time will lead to a more inaccurate simulation result.

The 'Measurement Sample Time' affects the amount of data which must be stored.
