Apparently not yet clear in our tutorial guidelines, but the idea was to name participants named on physical domain, not on solver. Is there a particular reason to call this Micro-Manager and not Macro? I see that we have the same in https://precice.org/tutorials-two-scale-heat-conduction.html
Further naming conventions that seem to be violated:
micro-fansinstead ofnotch-fans(or, instead,Notchinstead ofMicro)- Data, mesh, and participant names in the config should start with an uppercase and be separated by dashes.
The config visualization would need to be regenerated.

I did not look at the guidelines. Will go through them and align the contribution accordingly.

Could we extract the mesh and further long, generated parts from the rest of the input file, to keep the file short?
In the perpendicular flap, we use *INCLUDE=... statement:
https://github.com/precice/tutorials/blob/develop/perpendicular-flap/solid-calculix/flap.inp
Unless this is really meant to only be generated from FreeCAD and modified there, in which case we need some instructions in the README.md (or even a script) to be able to maintain it.
I would suggest splitting the file and documenting some instructions or hints in the README.md.

| * The macro notch problem is solved using [CalculiX](https://www.calculix.de/), so it required the [CalculiX adapter](https://github.com/precice/calculix-adapter). |

| * The micro problem is solved using [FANS](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/FANS/tree/develop). FANS needs to be compiled in a Python-wrapped library form, check the [documentation](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/FANS/blob/develop/pyfans/README.md) on how to do this. | ||
| * The [Micro Manager](https://precice.org/tooling-micro-manager-installation.html) controls all micro-simulations and facilitates coupling via preCICE. Use the [develop](https://github.com/precice/micro-manager/tree/develop) branch of the Micro Manager. |

Can we add some future-proof information here? Does it depend on a specific feature that we wait to be released? When will we be able to remove this statement?

| The `num_procs` needs to fit the decomposition specified in the `micro-manager-config.json` (default is serial). See the documentation on [how to set domain decomposition](https://precice.org/tooling-micro-manager-configuration.html#domain-decomposition) in the Micro Manager configuration. | ||

| **NOTE**: When running `micro-fans`, even though the case setup and involved physics is simple, each micro simulation is a FANS simulation with a mesh of 32x32x32 nodes, which usually has a moderately high computation time. If the Micro Manager is run in serial, the total runtime is approximately 30 minutes. |
This PR adds a new multiscale mechanics tutorial which couples a CalculiX simulation to many FANS simulations via preCICE and the Micro Manager. Details of the case are in the README. This tutorial uses features of the CalculiX adapter from precice/calculix-adapter#135
