 Once the simulation is finished, the generated data is stored in another VTK file and can be compared against the original artificial data.
 Performance metrics are accessible through the [preCICE performance framework](https://precice.org/tooling-performance-analysis.html).

 The core module relies on VTK [@vtkBook], [Boost](https://boost.org/) and MPI for parallel execution.
 It provides a command line interface for simple simulations and can be configured in JSON [@lohmann2023] for more complex scenarios.
