I just opened the .hm file in HyperWorks which consists of 1D elements. 

then I created SPC load collector and after that, I was trying to define constraints but I was unable to select the nodes of 1d elements

Please help me with this issue if anyone knows how to fix it, I'm using 2020

Please find herewith an attachment

(line mesh was created also properties were set to the required criteria)

    Not sure if you were unable to select or had a hard time seeing what you selected. The model size units on your model are huge, so I am thinking the visualization is the issue. 

    You can adjust that here and I had no problem selecting and creating constraints.

    Thank you so much, Jason
    It worked
    Yes, it was a visualization issue.
