CUBIT only shows the mesh on the boundary surfaces. If you select a 
volume, the number of elements and nodes will be included in the volume 
attributes panel on the left side.


The quality checking tools allow you to threshold the display of cells 
based on element quality if you are concerned about cell quality.

You can see the wireframe of the entire mesh in ParaView if you export 
an exodus file from CUBIT and load it into ParaView and select the 
Extract Edges filter. ParaView also allows you to use clipping planes, 
etc and threshold based on fields, including element and node number. 
See the ParaView documentation for more info.
