[Gmsh] Structured mesh

[paul.carrico at free.fr]

Hi,


I would like to make a 3D structured mesh with a simplest object : a cube !  
Following the t6.geo tutorial file, I realised :

1- a square
2- a surface
3- an extrusion of the surface
4- a volume

 (basically ! ! !)

5- Transfinite the lines
6- Transfinite the surfaces (and click onto vertices)
7- Transfinite the volume (same number as item 4 .. and click onto vertices)
8- Then Recombine surface

(
 see the result below) !

I only have quadrangle onto the surface but not any hexahedra 
 what I’m doing 
wrong ? 
 It’s probably a very basic question but I don’t understand 

Just a remark : I’m learning both GMSH and Code ASTER (FEA software) 
 both GPL 
softwares ! the relationship between the 2 softwares shows that GMSH becomes 
more and more powerfull ! Thank to the GMSH group for it !
