We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

The linear periodic symmetry regions worked perfectly when they were configured separately. So, either periodic symmetry in Z-axis or in X-axis. The results also make sense, because the faces, where the unit cells would be in contact to the one I am simulating do not bend, as it happened to the unit cell alone, without any symmetry region set. 

However, whenever I try to simulate the unit cell with both periodic symmetry in Z- and X-axis, a question mark appears in the static structural and solution tabs. Moreover, I get the following error message: "You have incorrectly defined multiple symmetry objects. The solution cannot proceed unitl this is fixed."

Any idea of what could be done?
