Meshing an object with sharp edges with the surface mesher
is not a good idea, as it will put smaller and smaller triangles
where the sharp features are in order to improve the approximation.

You better use the Volume Mesh Generator, where you can pass
the mesh generator polylines that should be in the output.

Best regards,

Andreas
