Maximum step size and print interval in Transient Analysis

Hello,

If I set hmax=1e-3 and print interval = 0.1, does the print interval affects the performance of the simulation or just the visualization of the results?

I'm talking about a generic transient analysis.

    Hello Davide

    Print interval represents the frequency of recording the results and affects only visualization. The maximum step size controls the steps that the solver takes during the simulation and affects the performance. Except, in the case where the print interval is smaller than the hmax, the solver would force the hmax to be equal to print interval.

    Hope this helps
