I am trying to link APE solver with a separate solver for an aero-acoustic simulation. For this purpose, I have to access the data structures during runtime which can be achieved by creating a new user-defined library(".so").

Is it possible to create a user-defined library which would facilitate me to have a coupled simulation if the library path is included in the session file; or a stand-alone simulation if it is not included?

If yes, I would really appreciate if someone can guide me to build it as I am new and uncomfortable with cmake structure.

Sincerely,

Nitish
