Hi,

Yes, it is possible to use more than one node. Indeed, preCICE has been used in massively large simulations on some of the largest supercomputer you can find. You probably need to choose the correct network adapter. This is described in more detail here: [Help! The participants are not finding each other! - #2 by Makis](https://precice.discourse.group/t/help-the-participants-are-not-finding-each-other/646/2)

Point 4 focuses on the choice of the network adapter. Does this solve your problem?
