Simulation with time step greater than 0.025 ms

Hi,

I try to simulate some biological neurons models with parameters provided by Allen institute. When i fixe time step to 0.05 ms, Neuron automatically reset time step to 0.025 ms during simulation. I also remarked that if i choose h.dt less or equal to 0.025 ms, Neuron maintained this value during simulation. How I can make Neuron use time step greater than 0.025 ms during simulation?

Thank in advance

See "Why can't I change dt?" in the Hot tips area of the NEURON Forum.

Thank you very much for your assistance,

I was able to solve the problem with the following relationships:

h.dt = value
h.steps_per_ms = 1.0/h.dt
