Hello CFDOnline community,

I have just started using GMSH recently and seem to have run into a problem. My goal is to use GMSH to export a mesh and convert into an OpenFOAM usable mesh using the gmshTofoam utility. Currently, I am experimenting the capabilities of GMSH with a simple cube. The cube I have imported in GMSH as a .stp file which reads in as curves, surfaces, and a single volume. I then identify the physical surfaces and physical volume. I use the basic 3D meshing option within GMSH which creates a mesh. I export the mesh as a version 2 ASCII file as a .msh format. I then put this file in a directory with the system folder which has my controlDict. I use the utility gmshToOpenFOAM and get the following result:

Starting to read physical names at line 5
Physical names:3
Surface 1 Inlet
Surface 2 Outlet
Volume 3 Internal

Starting to read points at line 11
Vertices to be read:303

My question is, why am I getting unhandled elements? This seems to be resulting in OpenFOAM not registering the correct boundaries that I have specified and all elements getting stuck into a single default patch. Any insights would be useful.
