Create 1D Elements

Create 1D elements as a meshing tool or as a single element creation.

Introduction

The Create tool allows you to create the following:
  • Bar2
  • Rods
  • Line Mesh (for bar2 and rod elements only)
It also supports options to create beams as a plate stiffener by seeding nodes on shell edges and auto orient/offset beams. Access the Create tool from the Mesh ribbon by clicking 1D Mesh > Create.
