It's not a perfect solution, but you can allready save a lot of time if you export your sketches to DWG and import them into Sim Mech. See this video: http://a360.co/1oRgj0a
We do a lot of models that are a combination of surface and beam elements.
It's a real hassel to export a serarate dxf, open in Sim and merge with the surface model.
We use a couple of the workarounds at the moment. One is crate a surface and split it where you want those beams to be, then when it meshes in SIM delete all the lines but the ones you want. The other it to create workpoints at the beam element endpoints and have Sim import them as Construction Verticies. You can then manually draw the lines in Simulation.
Please change the status to Accepted, these software packages should be able to communicate better.
