# maxSteps

The maximum number of fixed-size steps per advance.

```
var maxSteps: Int
```

## Discussion

This value is only used when [`mode`](/documentation/ComputeGraph/ComputeGraphSimulation/SimulationRate-swift.struct/mode-swift.property) is
[`ComputeGraphSimulation.SimulationRate.Mode.fixedFrequency`](/documentation/ComputeGraph/ComputeGraphSimulation/SimulationRate-swift.struct/Mode-swift.enum/fixedFrequency) or
[`ComputeGraphSimulation.SimulationRate.Mode.fixedTime`](/documentation/ComputeGraph/ComputeGraphSimulation/SimulationRate-swift.struct/Mode-swift.enum/fixedTime).
