Hi,

I've attached a test file which defines a 3D domain similar to the one 
which you've described, which Gmsh is able to partition into a set of 8, 
20 and 27-node hexahedral elements.

I don't know if Gmsh is able to generate 14-node hexahedral elements.  
At least I've never bothered looking for it.  Nevertheless, if Gmsh 
doesn't handle that type of element maybe you can make do by generating 
a 27-node mesh and then convert 27-node elements into 14-node ones.


Hope this helps,
Rui Maciel
