I asked the same question in the CalculiX forum: [Mesh generation for preCICE FSI training session - CalculiX (official versions are on www.calculix.de, the official GitHub repository is at https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX).](https://calculix.discourse.group/t/mesh-generation-for-precice-fsi-training-session/2339) Related thread here: > [@How can I create a CalculiX mesh and configuration?](https://precice.discourse.group/t/how-can-i-create-a-calculix-mesh-and-configuration/827): > > This is a common question we often face, as many of our tutorials use CalculiX as the structure solver. I am barely familiar with CalculiX and I just wanted to collect here some resources, together with you. Reading the CalculiX documentation (PDF on the [website](http://www.dhondt.de/)) and manually setting up a case is one option. Another option that some people have had good experiences with is using the [FEM Workbench of FreeCAD](https://wiki.freecadweb.org/FEM_tutorial). What other options do you know? What are common tips and tricks you can offer to the… --- _[View the full topic](https://precice.discourse.group/t/precice-workshop-training-session-on-fsi-mesh-generation-for-calculix/2020)._
