actual calculix adapter is with version 2.20.1 quite old. Perhaps a Meeting in Munich by TUM and MTU can solve this.

In Doku precice 3.0.x is here a team with calculix 2.20 and the adapter 2.20.1.

So perhaps an update is here needed to use all features of new precice 3.4.0.

A great project to couple calculix with other codes with FSI, DEM and more physics.

Here the Roadmap of precice:

> We are actively developing preCICE. These are some of the features you can expect in the future.

Yeah, I’m surprised they are using 2.20… So many bugs and fixes have been implemented since then.

Yes. Most tutorials at precice are done with calculix and openfoam to solve FSI and more.

Openfoam adapter in active development also with releases each year by org or in 6-month by com.

But is now a chance to make a great step to calculix 2.23 or next 2.24.
