preCICE (Precise Code Interaction Coupling Environment) is a coupling tool for partitioned simulations of multi-physics scenarios. Partitioned means, that existing programs capable of simulating a subpart of the complete physics involved in the complete simulation, are taken and coupled together. The conceptual ideas of preCICE are not completely new, preCICE is basically an advancement of FSI*ce which has been developed by Markus Brenk. The main goals of preCICE are the following:
- Provide a high-level programming environment for all basic tasks appearing in the development of partitioned coupling simulation tools, i.e. communication, data mapping, and transient coupling schemes.
- Exploit the flexibility coming with the partitioned approach.
- Serve as a basis for the development of new coupling algortihms, methodologies and functionalities.
