🐞 Description of the bug

If I launch a Fluent instance using PyFluent and then pass that instance to PySystemCoupling via add_participant command, PySystemCoupling should compare the versions and if Fluent is from a newer release than System Coupling, an error should be thrown with a descriptive error message. Otherwise, the run will fail during the solve and potentially unclear error messages.

📝 Steps to reproduce

Start newer Fluent version:

fluent = pyfluent.launch_fluent(product_version = "24.2")

(set up Fluent case)

Start older System Coupling version:

syc = pysyc.launch_fluent(version = "24.1")

Add Fluent participant:

syc.add_participant(participant_session = fluent)

This should result in an error with a clear message.
