Hi everyone,

I got a problem when extracting values from a specific time step, the following is my code:

#include "fvCFD.H"

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

#   include "addTimeOptions.H"
#   include "setRootCase.H"

#   include "createTime.H"

    // Get times list
    instantList Times = runTime.times();

    // set startTime and endTime depending on -time and -latestTime options
#   include "checkTimeOptions.H"

    runTime.setTime(Times[startTime], startTime);

#   include "createMesh.H"

    for (label i=startTime; i<endTime; i++)
    {
        runTime.setTime(Times[i], i);

        Info<< "Time = " << runTime.timeName() << endl;
        Info<< "Start Time = " << startTime << endl;
        Info<< "End Time = " << endTime << endl;
        
    volScalarField UMeanNorm
    (
        IOobject
        (
           "UMeanNorm",
           runTime.timeName(endTime), 
           mesh,
           IOobject::MUST_READ
        ),
        mesh
    );

As I want to extract UMeanNorm from the last time step (that is Time = 5), I set runTime.timeName(endTime) for UMeanNorm, but it turned out that the time that was chosen was 52 not 5 (but Time=52 doesn't exist!). I wonder how can I re-set the things so that the time chosen for extracting the data is the last time step
The following is the controlDict code:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      controlDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

application turbFoam;

startFrom       startTime;

startTime       0;

stopAt          endTime;

endTime         5;

deltaT          0.001;

writeControl    timeStep;

writeInterval   100;

purgeWrite      0;

writeFormat     ascii;

writePrecision  6;

writeCompression uncompressed;

timeFormat      general;

timePrecision   6;

runTimeModifiable yes;

It would be great if anyone could help me

Thanks!
