Okay, that my mesh also contains the points and lines as elements, I did not
realize that. Thank you that caused the problem and confusion. 

Thanks for the fast reply.

All looks good to me. Could you clarify your question?

If you imply wrong ordering (clockwise/counterclockwise) of nodes then just
change the sign when you create corresponding entity.

If you mean that you mesh contain points and lines as elements and you are
interested in triangular elements only then use Physical Surface since by
default all objects are saved if there is no physical entities declare. I
was confused by that issues when I started to use Gmsh.

It is not clear what you expect.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have a simple geometry, but the coordinates of the nodes and the numbering
of elements are wrong.
