Hi

As mentioned in properties (Analysis Type) you need to set it to 3D as beam/lines will not work with 2D option.

To have 2D in the 3D analysis then just fix the Z - direction on all nodes and the ROTX and ROTY.

Set a snippet with:

D,ALL,UZ,0

D,ALL,ROTX,0

D,ALL,ROTY,0

That makes it 2D in principle
