[Gmsh] Gmsh: quadrangles and hexahedrons only

[zhihua ouyang]

Dear Gmsh users,
I would like to create meshes consisting of
quadrangles and hexahedrons only. is that possible for
gmsh to do so?
I have tried the following geo file for a while. But
some triangular elements can not be "recombined" into
quadrangles. Can any experienced GMSH users help me
with this? I am using the FEM package from deal.II
which can not handle triangular and  tetrahedral
meshes. Thanks in advance.
