Query about choosing an appropriate element and material

Hello,
I want to model a link that will be able to transfer horizontal load between 2 nodes in the same plane and have no (or very low) vertical and flexural resistance as well. It should also have large compression rigidity (negligible axial deformability). Could you please guide me which kind of element and material is appropriate to address these behaviors?
Thank you,
Farideh
