RE: What is the rule for numbering an area in ANSYS?

The numbering rules are subject to change at each release -- and thus are undocumented.  Scripts that work in 7.0 wont' necessarily work in 9.0.

If you need to do selections, it is better to refer/select by locations.  More rigorous is the ability to query the last created entity...  

If it seems like its a big pain to do and keep track of, then you're probably on the right track!

Good luck.
