preCICE Workshop 2025 – Couple your CalculiX simulations

preCICE is an open-source coupling library for partitioned multi-physics and multi-scale simulations. It enables the efficient, robust, and parallel coupling of separate single-physics solvers. preCICE treats these solvers as black-boxes and, thus, only minimally-invasive changes are necessary to prepare a solver for coupling. Ready-to-use adapters for well known open-source solvers, including OpenFOAM, SU2, CalculiX, FEniCS, and deal.II, are available. The software offers methods for equation coupling, fully parallel communication, data mapping, and time interpolation.

The preCICE Workshop 2025 will take place at HSU Hamburg on 8th to 12th of September. The workshop will include an introduction course and is, thus, suitable for new and experienced users. We will extend the course by a new module on HPC. Afterwards, the maintainer team will present recent updates on dynamic meshes, mesh-particle coupling, and macro-micro coupling – to only mention a few highlights. And we will continue the standardization process of adapters and application cases, where you can help shaping the future.

We are looking for talks and posters that could be beneficial for the wider preCICE community. Are you developing a new adapter (such as for G+Smo or ISSM last year)? Are you using preCICE for an exciting new application? Are you developing new methods that should not be missing from preCICE? If the answer to any of these questions was yes, we encourage you to submit a brief abstract for a 20 minutes talk. Are you revisiting one of the classical preCICE use cases? Did you already present your work in a previous workshop? Then we would be very happy to catch up with your work and we encourage you to present a poster. You do not need to submit a contribution to join this workshop. However, your contributions are very welcome!

Submission deadline: 31st of May.

The detailed schedule of the workshop is now out!

Find there a training session coupling CalculiX and OpenFOAM for FSI, a presentation coupling CalculiX to MBDyn, and more CalculiX users that can share their experiences.

Overall, the program includes:

  • 12h of hands-on training,
  • six user talks on nuclear reactor simulation, multiscale flow coupling, coupling particle codes, performance (in ice-sheet/hydrology coupling), multibody-structure coupling, and time-adaptive IQN methods,
  • six developer talks summarizing news on the library, ecosystem, standardization, and tooling, as well as developments on supporting dynamic meshes and further improving the IQN methods available,
  • 12 posters by users and developers on several ongoing applications and methods under development,
  • a World Café session to design the future of preCICE,
  • a user support day, and
  • several more networking opportunities.

Registration is still open for less than a week more, until Tuesday, July 15. Read more:
