[Gmsh] Again 2D meshing problem

3D doesn't work because you try to mesh a huge volume with a very small
characteristic length around the wing and a large characteristic lengths
on the exterior sides of the box.

You ca try to "help" gmsh by building intermediate boxes, as explained and
illustrated in

http://www.geuz.org/pipermail/gmsh/2005/001606.html

and

http://www.geuz.org/pipermail/gmsh/2005/001612.html

In the attached file fx79_new.geo , I built a first box and I used the
Layers option of the Extrude command
( http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh_5.html#SEC36 )
in order to obtain a 3D mesh.

Cheers,

Dave
