Nice!
I want to have a look and try it when it's ready for review.
Don't forget to add some information in the README, and (if needed) any hints in https://precice.org/tutorials-visualization.html or in the visualization script of the case.

@tapegoji I added you as contributor via an empty commit so that you will show up at the appropriate places, like the future release of the tutorials.

Additionally here is the error I face when trying to run the fluid-elmer participant:

ListTagKeywords: No parameters width suffix: normalize by volume
ERROR:: LoadMesh: Requested mesh > Fluid_Participant_Mesh < does not exist!
STOP 1

I compiled the adapter and manually copied the .so files from elmer-adapter/Adapter to fluid-elmer/ and then tried to run the case. Any clue what is going wrong?

Hi, it looks like the name in case.sif file is different that the name in precice-config.xml file. If you want we can have a google meet to resolve this. my time is US MDT.

I managed to run the Elmer participants, and as a first attempt I tried out fluid-elmer and solid-nutils. The simulation starts but the diverges at some point, with the following error:

CouplerSolver: Reading the data from preCICE
CouplerSolver: Ended
MAIN: *** Elmer Solver: ALL DONE ***
MAIN: The end
SOLVER TOTAL TIME(CPU,REAL):         5.24       34.48

From the logs one can see that the coupling is not converging in a time window. Looking into the Elmer adapter a bit I saw that there is no real checkpointing in the main adapter file Coupler_Solver.F90. This can be one reason why the coupling does not converge. @tapegoji is there an implementing of checkpointing of values that I am missing? Did you manage to run the flow over heated plate tutorial at some point?

I did not implement the checkpoint, I don't recall why I commented them out; I think for simplicity. Yes, I ran the original case and it worked. I have to say, this was a few months ago and I have not tried it recently.

That being said, from the log file I see here, it looks like that Elmer finished normally. The error that is here is that because the coupler does terminate properly. I think when preCICE is done, we should add a check point in the Elmer_adapter so that, it releases all the memory and terminates properly. does that make sense?
Is there a way that ask preCICE if we are at the end of the simulation?

Looking at the adapter code again, this actually makes sense. I would now merge the adapter PR and continue testing this.

That's exactly the purpose of isCouplingOngoing, step-by-step docs.

Okay, so we have that in that code. I think the problem was that Elmer was not de-allocating the memory when the coupling was finished.
I just added a few lines to remedy this. I did a test (on my development branch) and it seems to be working. Let me know if that works.

I tested both fluid-elmer and solid-elmer again, and because the Elmer adapter does not have checkpointing, the coupling does not converge. It would make sense to test the Elmer participants after we have checkpointing in the adapter.

Ishaan,
I think I added check points in the Elmer participants. It should remove the previous crashing at the end of the simulations?
Is this the same or different? we can have a call to see how we can fix this.

Thanks

Checkpointing is different that what was added to ensure that the simulation does not crash at the end. Let's discuss over a call 👍

Hi @tapegoji !

Just checking in on the progress here. Did you manage to get checkpointing to work in the Elmer adapter?

Hi @IshaanDesai

I have not been working on it unfortunately. It will come in the next few months. or sooner. Thanks for checking.
