HI:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/precice/original/2X/7/7c96ca0cd85559fff0b64121228fefc620e4be92.png)

As above, my fluid-solid coupling is all mapped interpolation on the fluent side, what I want to ask is whether it is possible to realize the interpolation of fluent and abaqus each, and how to modify the xml file?

These are too many questions in one (edited the title to refer to the last point).

- Setting up a coupled simulation is not only about changing the `precice-config.xml`. You also need that the codes themselves support preCICE (i.e., they have adapters for preCICE).
- There is no official Abaqus adapter for preCICE at the moment, but there are some developments (cc @IshaanDesai)
- The Fluent adapter was always experimental and rather unmaintained, so I definitely don’t recommend it for general use at the moment.

If you are asking how to move one of the mappings to the `abaqus` participant:

1. move these lines to the other participant
2. change the direction from `read` to `write` and swap the `from`/`to`
3. you probably still need to update your `exchange` as well.

In any case, visualizing the config helps: [Config visualization | preCICE - The Coupling Library](https://precice.org/tooling-config-visualization.html)

All connected arrows should be pointing to the same direction.

thanks，my mean as follow:

now,two mapping are all in left, can move one of two mapping to left side, but in my case , mapping value one is consistent and another is conservative

I understood that, see my answer above:
