[Gmsh] Parallelepiped with hole in the middle

[Robert Atanasiu]

Hello,

I hope you are all doing well.

I am trying to make an structured mesh having the representation of a
parallelepiped with a hole in the middle of the structure. This "hole" has
the sole purpose of signaling the presence of an obstacle. For some reason,
I get errors regarding the transfinite algo of 2 particular surfaces, while
the other 8 work. Also, how can I ensure the normals are all pointing in
the right convention?

Here is my algorithm:
//
l_ref = 1;

Point(1) = {-0.5, -0.5, 0, l_ref};  Point(2) = {0.5, -0.5, 0, l_ref};
Point(3) = {0.5, -0.5, 4.0, l_ref}; Point(4) = {0.5, 0, 4.0, l_ref};
Point(5) = {0.5, 0, 6.0, l_ref}; Point(6) = {0.5, -0.5, 6.0, l_ref};
Point(7) = {0.5, -0.5, 10.0, l_ref}; Point(8) = {0.5, 0.5, 10.0, l_ref};
Point(9) = {0.5, 0.5, 0, l_ref}; Point(10) = {-0.5, 0.5, 0, l_ref};
Point(11) = {-0.5, -0.5, 4.0, l_ref}; Point(12) = {-0.5, 0, 4.0, l_ref};
Point(13) = {-0.5, 0, 6.0, l_ref}; Point(14) = {-0.5, -0.5, 6.0, l_ref};
Point(15) = {-0.5, -0.5, 10.0, l_ref}; Point(16) = {-0.5, 0.5, 10.0, l_ref};

I would be very grateful if you can answer my question!
