Node ordering of Gmesh is given in the following site.

I can only find the node ordering of Cubit in the following site.

Please show me the site where I can check the node ordering of all the elemets including Wedge15 or Pyram13, if anyone knows where.

It looks like the link to the Exodus II manual in that documentation points to a dead-link (we’ll get that updated!). Here are some relevant links to the Exodus II manual that describes the Exodus node-numbering:

  1. The “Sandia Engineering Analysis Code Access System” (SEACAS) project on GitHub that owns the Exodus specification. This link can be used for “highest-level” discovery of Exodus documentation if links get changed in the future.
  2. The current SEACAS documentation page, linked to by the GitHub project.
  3. The current link to the Exodus II manual on the documentation page (the "New" API Documentation hyperlink).
  4. An HTML version of the Exodus II element types, again linked to from the documentation page

Note in that last link the following text:

Exodus Node Ordering Convention

The node ordering conventions follow the element topology used in PATRAN. Thus, for higher-order elements than those illustrated, use the ordering prescribed in the PATRAN Element Library Manual Manual https://web.mscsoftware.com/training_videos/patran/reverb3/index.html#page/Finite%20Element%20Modeling/elem_lib_topics.16.1.html#ww33606.
