Hello everyone... I need your help please

I want to create a 3d mesh with hex only in a wind blade geometry (please 
see the attachment). I get the geometry to an .stp file, so I can not 
change it.

I use a scrip file (please see the attachment) to transfinite and recombine 
the lines surfaces and volumes.

When I create the mesh I get an error like 

Error   : Cannot tetrahedralize volume with quadrangles on boundary 

or

Error   : Transfinite algorithm only available for 5- and 6-face volumes

There is any solution for my problem?

thank you in advance
