Hi Paolo,
First, you do not need to define physical quantities, points, surfaces,
volumes, for generating the geometry.
Those numbers are useful in e.g. a FE software. You can thus remove them.
For getting the volume, you need a surface loop, and the numbers in the loop
are the surface numbers, not point numbers.
Change the end of your file to:
Surface Loop(100) = {2, 3, 1, 6, 4, 5};
Volume(1) = {100};
Transfinite Volume(1) ;
Physical Volume(1000) = {1};
Regards,
Ruth
