I want to couple PDEs to with ABMs, on the website of Agents.jl, there is a tutorial that explains how to integrate ODEs with Agents, I was wondering if I discretize a PDE with DiffEqOperators.jl and then solve the remaining part as ODE with DifferentiaEquations.jl, will I be able to couple that with Agents.jl?

Discretized PDEs and ODEs are the same thing for a computer, so I don’t see any reason why the ODE integration example we have wouldn’t apply to PDEs!

If you are interested in PDEs, see [MethodOfLines.jl](https://github.com/SciML/MethodOfLines.jl) which has almost completely superseded DiffEqOperators at this point.
