I read that you do surface coupling? Do you support volume coupling too?

Yes, but it will be computationally expensive. preCICE is mainly designed to couple simulations that share a common surface boundary. In this case, all the coupled volume nodes should be specified in the coupling mesh. preCICE only knows about points and their connectivity, so it doesn’t make much …

Can preCICE be used for volume coupling?
