Dear Gmsh community,

Do you know how to force gmsh to produce only one layer of hexahedral elements 
through the thickness of the thin-walled structure like in the attached 
example? I want to have only one layer of linear elements which will be than 
converted to higher order spectral element type.

3D meshing always produces two elements even though 1 layer is set in extrude 
operation.

You get 2 elements in the layer because of the

   Mesh.SubdivisionAlgorithm = 2; // 1: all quadrangles; 2: all hexas

command, which subdivides the mesh (to get a full quad/hex mesh).

There's active work on new quad meshing tools, so hopefully this limitation 
will disappear in the future.

Christophe

Pawel
