Dear CalculiX Community,

You may have heard of preCICE, which is an open-source coupling library for partitioned multi-physics simulations, including, but not restricted to fluid-structure interaction and conjugate heat transfer simulations.  
Partitioned means that preCICE couples existing programs/solvers capable of simulating a subpart of the complete physics involved in a simulation. This allows for the high flexibility that is needed to keep a decent time-to-solution for complex multi-physics scenarios.  
The software offers convenient methods for transient equation coupling, communication, and data mapping.

**CalculiX has always been a strong pillar of our community** and its [preCICE adapter](https://www.precice.org/adapter-calculix-overview.html) is directly maintained by us. It has proven to be a good tool for both the initial contact with partitioned cases and for running real-world simulations. Many of our FSI and CHT [tutorial cases](https://github.com/precice/precice/wiki#2-getting-started---tutorials) couple it with OpenFOAM. We also employed it intensely during the training session of the last preCICE workshop.  
Please also have a look at our [user stories](https://www.precice.org/community-projects.html), which often use CalculiX in their coupled simulations.

Continuing from the success of the preCICE Workshop of February last year, we announced the **2nd preCICE Workshop to be held from the 22nd to 25th of February 2021** in a purely virtual format. The last workshop showed us the diversity of users from across the globe, and we are excited to continue to interact with all users/developers/interested-persons and enthusiasts of preCICE.  
We will once again be including a mixture of talks, including developer and user talks, and hands-on workshop sessions.

**You can find more information regarding the registration [on our website](https://www.precice.org/precice-workshop-2021.html).**  
We look forward to welcoming back previous participants, introducing more members to the preCICE community and further welding our communities together.

Kind regards,  
The preCICE Team

Hi, I hope some of you managed to attend the workshop!

We finally made the recorded talks of the workshop freely available on the preCICE Youtube channel.  
Please feel invited to [check out the playlist of the preCICE Workshop 2021](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM2obW2udWdoxe1TGVuJXyIRM2JA8pOEL).

Especially interesting for the CalculiX community could be the talk by U. Heck and M. Becker [_Transfer of FSI coupling with preCICE, OpenFOAM and CalculiX to industrial applications_](https://youtu.be/IWsU_zCUJc4).

Best regards,  
Frédéric
