Hi,

I am trying to set different writeTimeInterval rather than a constant one during the runTime.

for example:
if (currentRunTime<t0)
writeTimeInterval=value0;
else
writeTimeInterval=value1;

Now I have problems on how to get current time within the controlDict.

Here is my code:

writeInterval   #codeStream
{
    
    code
    #{
        /*// the sample works    
          scalar start = readScalar(dict.lookup("startTime"));
          scalar end = readScalar(dict.lookup("endTime"));
          label nDumps = 5;
          os << ((end - start)/nDumps);*/
        //==================================================
        //how to get the current time within controlDic???
          
          //Tried but Not work
          //scalar t=this->db().time().value(); 
          //error: invalid use of ‘this’ in non-member function
         
          //scalar t = runTime().value() ; 
          //error: ‘runTime’ was not declared in this scope
          //scalar t = timeDirs.last().value(); 
          //error: ‘timeDirs’ was not declared in this scope
          //scalar t = time().value(); 
          //error: too few arguments to function ‘time_t time(time_t*)
          label t0 = 0.4;
          if (t <= t0) {
                os << 0.05;
          }
          else {
                os << 0.02;
          } 
    #};
};
