Hello everyone,


Can someone please help me with how can I get the value of "attachmentPt" at each time step?
I used the linearSpring restraint for my floating body to attach it to the ground.
The "anchor" points are the coordinates of the 4 anchor points ​for 4 spings on the ground.

In dynamicMeshDict I also provided the "attachmentPt" for each spring on my moving body. I would like to know the position of those points for each time step as well. But as the OpenFOAM solves the case for "overInterDyMFoam", it is not giving me the values for the "attachmentPt".

Here is a part of the simulation output:
