Gmsh is pretty primitive at handling hexahedral meshes (transfinite
+ extrusion only). If your code requires complex hexahedral meshes,
you might be better of with a multiblock mesh generator (there
are some free ones on the web --see e.g. Robert Schneiders' page:
http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~roberts/software.html).
If tetrahedra are OK and you don't have strong quality constraints
on the elements (i.e. some flat elements don't ruin your
convergence), then Gmsh could do the job.
