Hi,
I have a problem when analysing a stage truss in SolidWork Simulation. I have created a 3D scetch and assign a custom weldment profile to each line. But I do not manage to mesh it. The weldments are treated as solid (because they apparently are to small to mesh as beam). Then I change weldments to some standard profiles of simular size and the mesh works fine. Any idea what could be wrong?
When making the custom profiles I have followed this recipe:
1. Make a sketch (in my case, a pipe Ø48x3)
2. Click on the sketch, and save as: Lib Feat Part.
3. Save it in the same area as the other profiles.
I hope someone could help me, in advance, thank you:)

what is the overall dimension of your structure? how long are the beams?
if the beams are too short, then the beam formulation isn't a good fit and you should use solids
it may be helpful to post a screenshot of the error and your model
