Cannot figure out why I get this error [Solid Mechanics]

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I have been given a model which uses Cell Periodicity to model a unit cell representing a large repetitive structure. Periodic boundary conditions are used on the outer boundaries of this unit cell. When I run the model however, I get this message:

Error in multiphysics compilation. Failed to copy mesh. - Boundary similarity: src2dst_bp3_cp1_sim5 - Detail: Source and destination are not compatible.

I have attached a picture where source and destination are defined - not sure what it means? I have selected "Boundary similarity: src2dst_bp3_cp1_sim5" in the model to the right, its highlighted in yellow.

I cannot get the picture to show, but I have uploaded a screenshot to imgur: https://imgur.com/a/ksD7MIA

Any ideas are appreciated
