Modeling Adjacent Walls with Different Materials

Hello Community,

I'm encountering a challenge while modeling two zones where the adjacent walls have different materials. I've set the boundary conditions as surface conditions, but upon running the simulation, I receive an error indicating that the adjacent walls do not have the same materials. Despite trying the Wall:Interzone Object as an alternative solution, I'm still facing the same issue.

Could someone please advise on how to resolve this problem? Is there a specific approach or workaround that I might be overlooking? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I also found out that the adjacent walls must have the same number of layers.
