The time-step (often written as ) is an important variable in molecular dynamics simulations. It is usually of the order of femto () seconds for simulations of flexible molecules.
Multiple time steps[edit]
RESPA[edit]
A well known multiple time step method is the reversible reference system propagator algorithm (RESPA) [2].
