I have modeled reinforcements using NURBS curves in Rhino. When I try to import the IGES file as a part module, Abaqus does not give me an option to choose Wire. Only 2D and 3D are there.
Is there a workaround for this? If not, what is the better way to model reinforcements :
1. Should I convert these curves into 3D or 2D?
2. Should I use shell or solid?

Yes you can import wire (B21/B31 beam element ) using IGES file from autocad. I did it, it works. may be once you import the file, you are not selecting option of 2D, Deformable...
Go to part,---import--select file extention as IGES,---open the file..select 2D or 3D from the attribute in as shown in figure...
