SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on creating a meshed beam cross section in ABAQUS 6.9 for hollow and elliptical beam structures, which are not available in the software's standard library. Users express difficulty in understanding the manual's instructions for this process. The need for clear, step-by-step guidance is emphasized, highlighting the challenges faced by users when attempting to model custom geometries in ABAQUS.
