help needed - how to add and see truss elements added to orphan mesh in Abaqus

Submitted by dinogomez on

I am a new user to Abaqus, and am having some difficulties with adding non-linear truss elements.  I have created truss sections and assigned them to elements created in
sets and assigned to section assignments.  The only thing is I am not
able to see the truss elements.  When I do a query on beam/truss, it
says that the part dosn't contain any.  I am trying to add truss
elements to an imported orphan mesh, any help would be greatly
appreciated.Thanks!!!
