FSI with CalculiX and OpenFOAM

Hello everyone,
When I run CalculiX for IFS I found the following errors

Can you help me please???

Hello @fatiha ,
This looks like a scenario where you have a 2D-3D simulation and are using the latest released version of the CalculiX adapter. In the latest release version we have noted several scenarios where the 2D-3D functionality does not work. A more extensive solution is in development on the branch: 2D simulations major overhaul by boris-martin · Pull Request #92 · precice/calculix-adapter · GitHub
Can you please switch to this branch, recompile the CalculiX adapter and try again?
