Hello, I’m new to preCICE and CalculiX, so maybe this is a daft question: How do I create the .sur file? I understand the concept and that the .sur file contains volume elements (linear or quadratic tets) sorted by which of the elements 4 surfaces is lying in the surface. But how do I create this…

@TSchenkel welcome! For such a CalculiX-specific question, I guess you will have better chances asking in the CalculiX forum .

I see that this is a duplicate of How do I create the .sur file for nearest-projection?, so I lock this thread to keep everything in one place.
