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,
 
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
