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.
