You should only use TRUSS when due to the structural arrangement and loading, the members are only supposed to carry axial loads. Typically loads should only be nodal loads at joints and not member loads like concentrated load within the span of the member or UDL. For many trusses that we find in the real world, where the members are subjected to bending and shear in addition to axial force for example trusses in which top and bottom chords are subjected to bending, one should use SPACE or PLANE and assign TRUSS specification individually to certain members like braces.
