HOW TO CREATE DUMMY BEAM IN MIDAS GEN? 

Answer:
Hello,

To create the dummy beam, the elements stiffness should be considered close to zero. For that, there are 2 ways. First, create the section with the small size. Usually users are generate the 1mmX1mm for the dummy beam. Second, when you create the material, enter the 1/10000 for the modulus of elasticity.
Thank you.
