[Gmsh] Pseudo 2-D unstructured Mesh

[Emanuele T.]

I solved using different values from z coordinates and lc.
This .geo file works
Point (1) = {0, 0, 0, 0.05};
Point (2) = {3.2196, 0, 0, 0.05};
Point (3) = {3.2196, 1.8, 0, 0.05};
Point (8) = {0, 1.8, 0, 0.05};
Point (9) = {1.2, 0, 0, 0.05};
Point (12) = {1.2, 0.6, 0, 0.05};
Point (13) = {0, 0.6, 0, 0.05};
Line (1) = {8, 3};
Line (2) = {3, 2};
Line (3) = {2, 9};
Line (4) = {9, 12};
Line (5) = {12, 13};
Line (6) = {13, 1};
Line (7) = {1, 9};
Line (8) = {13, 8};
Line Loop (10) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8};
Plane Surface (10) = {10};
Line Loop (12) = {5, 6, 7, 4};
Plane Surface (12) = {12};
e1[] = Extrude {0, 0, 0.1} {Surface{10,12}; Layers{1}; Recombine;};
Physical Surface(67) = {23};
Physical Surface(68) = {43, 57};
Physical Surface(69) = {61, 31};
Physical Surface(70) = {27};
Physical Volume(72) = {1, 2};

A key role is covered by Layers{1} in Extrude function
