Hello everyone,
I would like to model something like this:
It is an existing timber truss.
What kind of rigid link can I put between point A and point B?
In the reality, this is just a strip of steel to avoid the bottom chord to deflec.
In the picture:
Any help or any ideas?

The role of the tie-rod is to support the lower beam under its self-weight. The tie-rod is always in tension.
Then modelize the tie-rod as if it was continuous and forget the rigid connections.
The connection may be designed with the tie-rod tensile force
