Hi all, does anyone know how to get the time in OpenFOAM to be collected?

What I mean is that, in dsmcFOAM+ there is a wall boundary condition (https://github.com/MicroNanoFlows/Op...useWallPatch.C) that particles can stick to, but I also want to record the time when the particle sticks to that wall.

I have tried adding this;

//Particle becomes stuck to wall
stuckToWall = 1;

measurePropertiesBeforeControl(p);

//get time from runTime
scalar t = runTime().value();


but I get error stating;

dsmcSelectiveDiffuseSpecularStickingWallPatch2.C: In member function ‘virtual void Foam::dsmcSelectiveDiffuseSpecularStickingWallPatc h2::controlParticle(Foam::dsmcParcel&, Foam::dsmcParcel::trackingData&)’:
dsmcSelectiveDiffuseSpecularStickingWallPatch2.C:1 99:32: error: ‘runTime’ was not declared in this scope
scalar t = runTime().value();
^
dsmcSelectiveDiffuseSpecularStickingWallPatch2.C:1 99:20: warning: unused variable ‘t’ [-Wunused-variable]
scalar t = runTime().value();
^


Any help on how I can edit the boundary condition to record the time when the particle becomes stuck to the wall would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
