      S2S model supports cluster 2 cluster approach with non-conformal interfaces. However, the number of faces per surface cluster is still limited to 1 for these interfaces/boundaries. Therefore there is no advantage in using cluster-to-cluster. On all other boundaries, FPSC>1 can be used. The symmetry BC is supported in S2S, It is implemented with a symmetric angle (direction Cosine) at this boundary.
