Interface and Interior

Hi all,

Is there anyone who can explain the difference between "Interface" and "Interior" when a boundary is defined as wall in Gambit or Fluent?

Thank you,

Ken

I think the interior means the same as the fluid or the continuum. And the interface is used in the Mixing plane model, sliding mesh and Dyanmic mesh models. I think it is surface at which the meshes on two sides can interact or slide

*I am not sure I am just trying to explain.
