Problem:

The following occurred when importing a file from AutoPIPE:

---------------------------
Warning
---------------------------
No Autopipe Nozzle Identifiers found
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Solution:

This message is stating that the imported file does not have any nozzles specified. To prove this, locate and open the exported file from AutoPIPE. The file has the extension *.PXF and by default is located in the same folder as the  AutoPIPE model. A *.PXF file can be opened in any text editor program (i.e. NotePad, Word pad, MS WORD, Ultra Edit, etc..).

Example:

Bad file

  

Notice that the last line in te file is line #8

Good File:

Notice that there is a Nozzle number on line #14, with load names (Line #19, #24, #29, etc..) and load values (i.e. Line #20 - #23, etc..). 

Workaround:

In AutoPIPE be sure that one or more anchors have the "Report anchor results to AutoPIPE Nozzle/AutoPIPE Vessel" checked on. 

Confirm this on option check-box has been enabled AutoPIPE's anchor dialog screen near the bottom:

or 

AutoPIPE's Input  grid, Anchor Tab> Report Results> Check-box enabled

If no anchors have this option check-box enabled then the warning above will appear when importing the file into AutoPIPE Nozzle.
