<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I have just downloaded the last version of Gmsh (4.0.4), but I am facing a problem with the generation of a "simple" volume mesh.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I would like to mesh a volume delimited by a surface mesh in .msh format, but it looks like Gmsh cannot create the volume mesh.</p>

<div>I am attaching the .geo file I have created as well as the surface mesh I used. To launch the mesh generation I run the command:</div>
<div><span>gmsh-4.0.4 createGeom.geo -3 -o volumeMesh.msh</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
Note that the same test case is successfully meshed using Gmsh version 3.0.6.
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Do you have any suggestion on how to solve the problem?
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Is it possible that the surface mesh, containing both triangles and quadrangles is at the origin of the problem?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks in advance for your suggestions.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Regards,</p>
