Hi everyone
I am new in gmsh and I am apologies for my simple question

I want to know How (if) I can create a model which has only HEX element (c3d20 in abaqus format) 
For example I have create this simple model. So when I create the mesh except from the hex element (c3d8)  threre are and quadrangles element. 

In conclusion How I can use only one type of element (c3d20)? 
ps
There is and another similar question but I canot understand what I have to do.

I hope for your Help
M.G.
