Output Steps

The number of output steps represents the resolution of the Analysis results. For example, if you run a 10-second analysis with 100 output steps, you would expect to see 10 data points per second. This is equivalent to sampling data at 10 Hz and the spacing between the points being 100 ms.

To achieve greater granularity of data, you should increase the number of output steps. You would typically do this to capture a specific event, such as the impact of a timing chain with a gear. The higher the output step size, the larger the output file and memory use.
