ABAQUS 6.9 Meshed Beam Cross Section

In summary, ABAQUS 6.9 Meshed Beam Cross Section is a feature in the ABAQUS software used for finite element analysis (FEA) of beam structures. It allows for the creation of a meshed cross section of a beam, which can then be used for simulations and analysis. To create a meshed beam cross section in ABAQUS 6.9, you first need to define the beam properties and then use the built-in tools to create a meshed section. Various types of beam cross sections can be meshed in ABAQUS 6.9, including custom cross sections through user-defined elements. The software also supports the import of cross sections from other CAD software for easier integration

I need help with my beam structure in abaqus. The beams I need to model are hollow and elliptical. This is not included in abaqus' library or profiles. So I want to make a Meshed beam cross section as described in the manual. However, the manual is quite difficult to understand. Can someone walk me through the basic steps of making this happen? Please?
