Beams are displayed as lines in SimLab, and so you will only see them as lines when viewing the results of a simulation. However, the section property is still there. You just cannot see it visually.

Hello, I believe that you first need to define connectors for each of the lines and then you can assign the properties. Something like a bar connector might be useful:

no me funciona o quizás no me entienden, pero al momento de sisimular y crear la malla me reconoce las lineas, no los sólidos (beam section) como podría hacerlo??
