Has anyone ever looked into supporting the [MOOSE](https://mooseframework.inl.gov/) framework? Any pointers on what it would take to develop an adapter for it? ---

Welcome to the forum @dionhaefner 👋 I am not aware of any initiative to develop an adapter for MOOSE, but it would certainly be very interesting for the community. I assume it could be very similar to the existing adapters to FEM codes. They operate on different levels: - Nutils directly calls preCICE in their application scripts, e.g. [tutorials/solid.py at master · precice/tutorials · GitHub](https://github.com/precice/tutorials/blob/master/flow-over-heated-plate/solid-nutils/solid.py) - For FEniCS, we developed a complete stand-alone adapter: [https://www.doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2021.100807](https://www.doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2021.100807) - The deal.II-preCICE adapter is somehow in between: stand-alone, but not completely generic. Could also be helpful: > **[Dealing with FEM meshes | preCICE - The Coupling Library](https://precice.org/couple-your-code-fem-meshes.html)** > > There are various options how to deal with FEM meshes in preCICE and the best one depends on your application. ---

Could maybe this discussion lead you to someone that has already tried something related? Looking at the configuration, the user mentions preCICE! > **[cannot pull docker container sha256 error on f1f00ef4e9ed layer · Discussion...](https://github.com/idaholab/moose/discussions/22788)** > > Bug Description I cannot run or pull container strage error occurs : docker run -ti idaholab/moose:latest /bin/bash -c 'cd test; ./run\_tests' Unable to find image 'idaholab/moose:latest... ---

Thanks for the pointers! I’m not very familiar with MOOSE yet, so I’m not sure what the best way forward will be, but I’ll look into it. I think this will be a bit different from Nutils / FEniCS, as a MOOSE adapter would probably have to use C++ machinery instead of relying on a high-level API. I’ll have a look at the deal.II adapter. ---

There is actually detailed documentation for the C++ API: [Step 1 – Preparation | preCICE - The Coupling Library](https://precice.org/couple-your-code-preparing-your-solver.html)
