Problem:

When installing AutoPIPE the following is displayed:

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
E102-161: This point does not have reference point defined.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


What does this mean?

How to avoid?

Solution:

When inserting a Rotating Equipment component, Entering a node point for the Suction / Discharge point requires there to be a reference point to ensure proper side of the node point is considered during the calculations. 

Avoidance:

Close the Rotating Equipment dialog and insert Reference points at both the Pump Suction or Discharge node points.

Example:  

Segment A - Suction

Segment C - Pump body

Segment D - Discharge

insert Reference point at node points A00 and D05.
