The adapter was initially developed for conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulations via preCICE by Lucia Cheung in the scope of her master’s thesis [1] in cooperation with SimScale. For running the adapter for CHT simulations refer to this thesis. The adapter was extended to fluid-structure interaction by Alexander Rusch [2].

This adapter was developed for CalculiX version 2.15. Other versions may be compatible, yet they have not been tested. Please let us know if you want to use a different version.
