<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The simulation of mixed‐dimensional couplings poses a variety of computational challenges in order to enable accurate modeling and efficient solution of problems in science, engineering and biomedicine. In this contribution, we study computational challenges and bottlenecks in the mixed‐dimensional modeling of coupled beam/solid systems and discuss possible remedies to allow large‐scale computations of applications in structural engineering. In particular, we address questions of memory consumption in geometric search operations, partitioning for computations on parallel clusters and performance of the linear solver by suitable preconditioning techniques.</jats:p>
