Create a Beam with no thickness

Hello everyone!

I am trying to create a solid line with no thickness at all.

The idea is really similar to what we do when creating a surface from a sketch. The final goal is to perform a static structural analysis of a structure with inner struts using F.E.M.  Thus, this struts can be represented as beams.

I tried using the comand Composite Curve, but when migrating the .step file to the F.E.M software, all the struts disappear. Thus, I guess I have notused the correct feature. ¿Has anyone some clueof what shoudl I due?

Very muchappreciate all your answers and comments.

Best regards,

Javi
