I have two cell zones that are sliding relative to each other (rotation). They are connected with non-conformal interface. One of those interfaces is a porous zone .

I want to do a transient simulation of hot air blowing on exchanger and observe the heating up of solid (recuperator). Therefore a non-equilibrium heat transfer needs to be switched on.

Somewhat fluent doesn't allow me to switch the non-equilibrium heat model on, when interfaces are present. Instead it throws the message:
"A duplicate of this zone cannot be generated automatically, as it contains a non-conformal mesh interface.
You must manually make a copy the porous fluid zone and define it as a solid zone before you enable the non-equilibrium thermal model."

So according to this message and fluent's help it is possible to use non-equlibrium heat model with non-conformal interface.

So I did as instructed and copied the zone manual with
mesh/modify-zones/copy-move-cell-zone
command.
I changed the zone type to solid and it's BC's to wall.

Still, a warning message comes up and doesn't allow me to switch the model on.

Am I missing something? Is it possible to use non-equilibrium heat model together with presence of non-conformal interface ?

Thanks in advance,
