Why? Is this a Mystran restriction or Nastran or whatever?
It is not, I'm sorry I made a mistake.
A bar is a rectangle that needs a width and a height only, but I forgot that the last field in a PBARL card is always the nonstructural mass per unit length; which is what you'd use to represent something like paint, which adds weight but doesn't increase strength.
