[Gmsh] Structured mesh for a tire rib

[Ziyu ZHANG]

Hi all,

I am trying to mesh a tire rib which is imported from a stp file. The rib
is simply a trapezoidal prism with a dent on each of both side faces. I
attached the geo file so you can see the model via GUI. I know that
transfinite lines ans extruding can be used to get structured mesh. But for
this imported geometrical model, is it possible to have a strutured tet
mesh (or at least a mesh with most elements structures)?

Best,

Ziyu
