[Gmsh] Error Remeshing STL to Generate QUADs/HEXAs

[Ted Kord]

I tried used the following geo file to remesh my STL file using quads/hexas:

Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFactor=0.25;
Merge "mesh.stl";
CreateTopology;

Compound Surface(200)={1};

Mesh.RemeshAlgorithm=1

Recombine Surface {200};
Physical Surface("newSurfaceMesh")={200};

but I get this error even after adding 'Mesh.RemeshAlgorithm=1':
