From the main menu bar, select ToolsReference Point to create a reference point on a part instance. You can create multiple reference points on the assembly; ABAQUS/CAE labels them RP-1, RP-2, RP-3, etc. For more information, see Chapter 46, “The Reference Point toolset.”

ABAQUS/CAE displays the reference point at the desired location along with its label. You can use the Feature Manipulation toolset to change the reference point label by selecting FeatureRename from the main menu bar. If desired, you can turn off the display of the reference point symbol and the reference point label; for more information, see “Controlling reference point display,” Section 50.7.
