  I am currently working on the problem of modeling of RC beam. I have created the geaometry in Design Modeller and modelled rebars and stirrurs with the use of line bodies. When generating mesh, it was generated only for concrete body. Can anyone help me with meshing rebars?

  You could try selecting all rebars then creating a named selection, then refine the mesh using one of the mesh options (e.g., body sizing, refinement, etc).

  Thank you for your advice. I have tried to do so. I have created named selections for rebars and stirrups. For refinement opion there is no possibility to chose this named selections. For sizing method it did not created mesh for rebars (see photos below)
