Hello,
The option you are looking for is the one to collect contact information (under Contacts in the data tree), not collision statistics. After you do that, you can create a property filter on the Contacts item in the data tree and filter the contacts from the boundary to the particles. Then, you right-click this new property filter and point to Contact to Particles. That should give you the particles that are in contact with that specific wall. Finally, you just gotta look at the Properties list of this Contacts to Particles entity and get the coordinates.Â
Look for the highlighted keywords in the User Manual and you will find additional information.
Best regards.
