Gmsh's internal small CAS engine does not compute boolean operations; you'll 
need to either create the geometry directly (computing the intersections 
yourself), or use a CAD modeler (e.g. Freecad) to create the geometry and 
export e.g. in STEP.

We are working toward integrating "real" CAD creation routines in Gmsh, but 
it's not ready yet for general use.
