      This error can occur when Periodic boundary conditions are used. Consider the following error message: Error: Non-conformal periodic interface with empty intersection. This is likely due to incorrect specification of periodic offset values. Please check the offset values ​​specified and recreate the interface. Error: Could not intersect threads 5 and 4. Error Object: # f Here, threads 5 and threads 4 are the boundary IDs with the periodic boundaries. This message appears when the Offset value is incorrectly specified. Please correct the direction and Offset value. Using Auto Compute Offset is also recommended.
