Hi!
Can anyone help me on this one:
Pends[init_, time_, {c_, w_, p_}] :=
Module[{},
pend = NDSolve[{x''[t] + c x'[t] + (1 + p Cos[w t])Sin[x[t]] == 0,
x[0] == init[[1]], x'[0] == init[[2]]}, {x}, {t, 0, time},
MaxSteps -> 200000];
xd[t_] := x[t] /. pend[[1]];
xdd[t_] := x'[t] /. pend[[1]];];
c = 0.1; w = 0.30; p = 1.1;
Pends[{1.37, 0}, 5000, {c, w, p}];
plt = Plot[{t, xd[t], xdd[t]}, {t, 0, 500}];
I want to reduce the time stepsize
in my numerical integration with mathematica. Each time
I try to get coordinates generated from the command
Plot[ ......, {t, tmin, tmax}]; or
Table[......, {t, tmin, tmax}];
I always notice that in all these case time stepsize = 1.
Is there anyway I can reduce the the timestep to say,
time stepsize =0.001 in the above numerical integration using
NDsolve.
Thanks in advance
Winston
