How to delete zero length beam elements.

Hi I am trying to perform analysis that consists of beam elements attached to tetra elements. Beam elements are generated from lines, after the beam elements were created I can see in the FEM file that there are elements with zero length therefore causing me the ERROR 1026(same node id). (if my understanding is correct). When I try to run element quality check I can that there are 33/71000 elements with very small length (defined by me).

1)But I cannot visualize or perform any action, I know in the older version we can retrieve the failed elements but in the new version I am unsuccessful in doing so. how can I see failed elements?

2) As they are very small will I be able to see? If not I would like to delete them.

Thank you
