About:
PreCICE (Precise Code for Interaction Coupling) is a library for partitioned multi-physics simulations. It enables separate solvers to run concurrently and exchange coupling data, such as forces and displacements, to simulate complex physical interactions. This approach allows users to couple existing codes without modifying their source code.

Key Features:

Explicit and implicit coupling schemes
Support for various communication and data mapping methods
Language bindings for C++, C, Python, and Fortran
Solver-specific configuration files

Use Cases:

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations
Partitioned multi-physics analysis (e.g., CHT)

Alternatives:

OpenFOAM – OpenFOAM is a CFD solver suite, whereas PreCICE is a pure coupling library designed to connect different solvers, including OpenFOAM.
