Two elements connect to the same side of the shared element face. Coordinates: -4.79047, 3.12926, -4.23102

Hi

I am trying to import mesh from Hypermesh. The error was shown as in the title.

1) I don't understand what the error means. Why can't two 3D elements connected to a shared face?
2) I tried to look for the coordinates in the mesh file but did not find any node. 3) Similar question has been asked 8 years ago, but no body answered that question.

Two 3D elements cannot be connected to the same side of a shared element face. That would imply that they, at least partially, occupy the same volume in space.

The coordinates are not node coordinates (then you would need a longer list). It is the centroid of the problematic face.

Two 3D elements cannot be connected to *the same side* of a shared element face. That would imply that they, at least partially, occupy the same volume in space. The coordinates are not node coordinates (then you would need a longer list). It is the centroid of the problematic face.
