Simple periodic boundary conditions are supported; however, their behaviour is not controlled through the .ini file, instead it is handled at the mesh generation stage. Two faces may be taged with periodic_x_l and periodic_x_r, where x is a unique identifier for the pair of boundaries. Currently, only periodicity in a single cardinal direction is supported, for example, the planes (x,y,0)` and (x,y,10).
