Increase temporal granularity in simulink

Hello, I have a simulink model based on the spacecraft dynamics example here:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/aeroblks/analyzing-spacecraft-attitude-profiles-with-satellite-scenario.html#SpacecraftDynamicsCustomAttitudeExample-1

that by default outputs the satellite position at intervals of roughly 10s when not pointing at specific targets (i.e. is in a "point at Nadir" state).

Is it possible to increase the temporal granularity across the whole orbit, in order to have for example a largest time step of 0.5s, even when pointing at Nadir?

Thank you

Do you just want to set the maximum step size for the solver?

[Nic Bac]

yes, I tried to change the simulation pacing, but that doesn't seem to do the trick

[Paul]

Simulation pacing controls how fast the simulation runs relative to real time, but doesn't change anything with respect to the solver step size or signal logging (at least not as I understand it), which is what I thought was the crux of this question.

Perhaps I don't understand what's intended by "have ... a largest time step of 0.5s."

[Nic Bac]

While looking for a way to set the maximum temporal step size I was able to find only the simulation pacing option, which as you say doesn't really do what was I needed.

Based on your first comment I found this, that was what I was looking for.

Thanks!
