[Gmsh] 3d Meshing Issue

[Geordie McBain]

Just guessing, but it may be that you haven't defined a Physical Volume.
Take a look at the section in the manual on Physical v. Elementary
entities, if you don't know what that means.

If you have defined a Physical Volume then it must be something else, in
which case you should post your .geo file, which will contain a record of
what's been done.

attempt to mesh this geometry and open it in Elmer (for additional
analysis), I noticed that the mesh has " 0 volume elements".
