Thanks for the response.
That makes sense, I was not aware Beam188 was only a linear element.
I have attached an image of the deformed shape below, I want to try to join the horizontal and vertical webs to the adjacent beams at the points where they overlap.
Modelling as a solid is not overly...
I am creating a 3D mesh for beam188 elements (L sections).
Method - create keypoints, create lines between KP, define section, apply all relevant properties to the line and mesh the line.
When I view the mesh (/ESHAPE,1) it appears as you would expect with an extruded L-shaped 3D...
