Abaqus asks that a reference point to be assigned

Abaqus asks that a reference point to be assigned

(OP)
I imported the top plate and bottom plates, they are meant to be fixed rigid bodies.  When I tried to submit the job, I get this message (see image).  Then I added a referece point to each plate and still get the same message.

How can I get rid of this?

thanks,

RE: Abaqus asks that a reference point to be assigned

Try to add the reference point of the rigid body in the PART module. If u added the RP in the assembly module, for example, the program will not know in what part you are referencing.

I hope it help you.

Go to "tool" and add a Reference Point
