Missing reference points on import of *inp file
Missing reference points on import of *inp file
(OP)
I am generating part geometries external to the Abaqus environment and importing them via *.inp files
In these files I add a reference point by including the following lines;
Where node 11 is the reference point in this instance.
But the reference point does not get imported with the *.inp file.
Anybody know why?

But the reference point does not get imported with the *.inp file.

Also, to be sure, are the display settings set to default? Sometimes I turn a something off and end up banging my head against the wall for not being able to see something in the Viewer.

I finally fixed it by assigning the reference point inside the import script I was using.
