Volume-less objects assigned to a model, such as area springs at structural supports, effect only the analytical model, and will not be shown in object model views (undeformed configuration). To display these objects in model views, check the ‘Show Analysis Model’ option under the ‘View’ > ‘Set Display Options’ menu, as shown in Figure 1:

Conversely, these objects will be displayed in analytical model views. To modify objects displayed in these views, check or uncheck the appropriate options in the ‘View’ > ‘Set Display Options’ menu. For example, to remove area springs (a type of link object) from stress diagrams, check the ‘Not in View’ option, as shown in Figure 2:
