Description

For example:

https://github.com/precice/calculix-adapter/blob/1690a6736bd90e9f963bf2eee1fc6eb7112d26cf/adapter/PreciceInterface.c#L376-L410

I guess there must be a consistency check earlier, but this is a bit confusing and potentially dangerous.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code at the referenced location (adapter/PreciceInterface.c lines 376-410) and trace the origins and usage of both `dim` and `dimCCX`. Look for any existing consistency checks and understand the intended meaning of each variable in the preCICE adapter context.
