Changing max step size affects angular velocity

edit

Hi,

I was recently graphing the relative angular velocity of a link(applying torque via ROS' Wrench service) and decided to change the "max step size" in Gazebo GUI parameters from 0.0001 to 0.0000001. When I did that, the magnitude of the angular velocities decrease by a factor of ~4 for some reason.

Why does changing the "max step size" change the angular velocities so drastically? Should I be expecting such a drastic change in the system? Intuitively, I would've guess that decreasing the "max step size" would decrease the uncertainty not the magnitude of angular velocity.

Thanks ahead of time!
