Issues encountered when installing openfoam-adapter: I used Ubuntu2004 under the Windows 10 subsystem. When I first installed OpenFoam7 and Calculix2.16, these two soft armor enabled coupled computing (a few days ago). However, when I use the downloaded flapping example today (unmodified), OpenFOAM7 calculates on its own, not in conjunction with Ccx2.16. What is the reason for this?

My best guess is that OpenFOAM is not finding the OpenFOAM-preCICE adapter.  
Which output do you get?

Maybe the page here help?

> **[Get the OpenFOAM adapter | preCICE - The Coupling Library](https://precice.org/adapter-openfoam-get.html#unknown-function-type-preciceadapterfunctionobject)**
>
> Get the code from GitHub and run ./Allwmake. If this fails, look into wmake.log and ldd.log.
