New CastNet release: Support for FSI-coupling between OpenFOAM and CalculiX based on preCICE

Efficient flow and structure simulation based on open-source solver technology

The new release of the pre-processing system CastNet supports the coupling between OpenFOAM (CFD) and CalculiX (CSM) via the coupling tool preCICE for fluid structure applications. PreCICE provides high-quality mapping functionalities and allows efficient implicit and explicit coupling with different relaxation methods.
