1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.

Use the Line Mesh tool to create a chain of one-dimensional elements such as beams along a line.

From the Mesh ribbon, 1D Mesh tools, click the Line Mesh tool.
