Is it possible to create something similar mesh as in the picture?

Question

I'm new to APEX, and curious whether it is possible? Here is the mesh I want (MeshIwant.png), and in the attachment the model.

Yes! The mesh is a tetrahedral mesh. Just be sure to use tet-10 elements. 
 
 The mesh you want also looks to have a finer mesh density around what may be holes (can’t tell from the picture). Apex has lots of way to seed areas where a higher mesh density is desired. 
 
 Also, if your loads and constraints are symmetric, you could slice out just a quarter symmetry and save a lot of compute time. 
 
 And finally, this geometry look like you can mesh with 2.5D hex element by which you heavily reduce the model size and compute time to get a result.
