I am struggling to recombine the remaining triangular cells into unstructured quadrangular ones in this geometry using Gmsh. Do I need to add auxiliary lines somewhere or do some geometries just don’t allow these type of cells?
The .geo
script:

To get the triangles in the last surface Recombine
d into quadrilaterals, you simply need to add the surface #9 into the last line:
Recombine Surface {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
This will result in:
Also, you might be interested in the
Mesh.RecombineAll = 1;
option. And playing with the 2-D Recombination algorithm via Mesh.RecombinationAlgorithm
might allow you to achieve elements that fit your purpose better (0: simple, 1: blossom, 2: simple full-quad, 3: blossom full-quad).
Unfortunately, you cannot make the surface #9 Transfinite
as well that easily (which would have enabled structured quadrilateral mesh).
The only solution I am aware of is to manually split #9 into several simple 4-corner surfaces.
However, the screenshot above seems to satisfy the requirements you have specified.
