Beam vs Truss Elements in Abaqus by diddeniye is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Beam elements are used to model structural components where one dimension is significantly longer than the other two. They are available as both 2D and 3D elements in Abaqus, with linear, quadratic, or cubic interpolation. Beam elements must reference a beam section property defining the material and cross-sectional geometry. Truss elements model axial tension/compression only and are used for pin-jointed frames and cables. They are also 2D and 3D, with linear or quadratic versions, and must reference a tru
