In LDraw this is usually called an "understud", although I'm not sure this is a terribly appropriate name for it. It's really the 1x equivalent of a bottom tube, and actually I'd be fine with calling it that since bar and pin already mean other things.

Quote:Hollow Stud - Is there a better term for these hollow studs which accept a bar element?

Perhaps not, although "hollow" often refers only to those studs that are open on top but do not pass through the brick. (A stud that does would be "open", and there are also some that are "blocked".)
