Hi
If you use the meshing inside mechanical then we do not have any or much control of numbering (e.g., element).
The best way to do what you want is to write a small script (python, matlab, etc.) that writes the nodes and element numbers as you want (this can be done for regular geometry shown). So in essence you will write a .cdb or ds.dat file with the node numbers (using N command or NBLOCK) as you want, and element numbers (using E command or EBLOCK) as needed, and then read that in via external model (that should preserve the numbering defined in the files).
All the best
Erik
