How to perform a simple swarf milling

I have done in the past some nice toolpaths with cut line milling but in this case i can´t get gouge free paths...

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Some cross sections of the part:

Are you sure the surface can be machined with the tool side?

There are some concave looking areas - is there always a straight or convex path through each point on the surface, so that it can be machined?

It can´t be machined the way i wanted.... it is not geometrically possible.
