I need to add structural members to a buggy, I have the desing only in lines (1D) so I need to simulate the structure, i try it using a property: Analysis>property>bar>beam to apply structural members like C beams, tube, rec tube etc, how could I do it?, When I run the simulation is only simulated as lines not as a structural profile, how can I do it??

    Hello, you can define connectors like bars and beams by first creating a connector in the Analysis Ribbon, and then choosing the type of connector. For something like a beam, you can define and a bar and then use the property definition to assign it as a beam.

    From the SimLab help about bars:

    To define a property, go to the Analysis ribbon and choose Property:
