Hi, I want to analyze what TIME STEP value would be the best for a period of 20 days that I'm running simulations.

The original file has the following config:

NUMBER OF TIME STEPS = 86400
TIME STEP = 20

To test a value like 30, for example, the only changes that I need to do are:

NUMBER OF TIME STEPS = 57600
TIME STEP = 30

Or there is another change that I need to make before running the simulation?

Thank you all.
