Hi all,

I'm programming a new class for six DoF motion to allow socket comunication for cosimulation with other tool (exchanging force data..). And I'm having a trouble, how can I consult the current time value?

Now I'm doing a little (...big!) trick using system():

system("grep 'Time = ' log.interDyMFoam | tail -n 1 | sed 's/Time = //g' > calcTime");

and then I can read the time from file calcTime, but I thought must be a better and elegant way... I've taked a look to "timeVaryingUniformFixedValuePointPatchField" since this BC must consult the time to do the proper interpolation, and it looks like the solution must come from a function called db(), which is declared in "pointPatchField"... but I'm falling in black-hole of classes and I can't see the light. So please, if somebody can show me the way of do this I'll be very pleased!

Thanks!!

Best regards,

Jordi.

Edit: now I see that I've had a lapsus with thread title, I'm interested in the actual time, no in time step! Thanks! And sorry the mistake...
