Python Script for reference node in abaqus

Question

I want to create a reference node using python for abaqus. In the input file, I can easily do it, as below: *Node 1, x,y,z *Nset, nset=SET-1 1,

But I am struggling to do it by scripting it. I have an orphan mesh, so I don't have a part. Could someone provide some insight into this problem? Thanks.

You should explain a little more the problem you want to use — Guillaume Jacquenot, Oct 20 '16 at 20:19
i think you need to use the keyword editor. see for example http://stackoverflow.com/q/35572838/1004168 — agentp, Oct 21 '16 at 02:49

If you mean a reference point (which seems to be the case from the informations you provided), you can just use (for example in the python console in CAE)

# Assign the rootAssembly to a (just to shorten a little bit the next command)
a = mdb.models['Your model'].rootAssembly

# Create a reference point at (x,y,z)
a.ReferencePoint(point=(x, y, z))
