Reference Points are lost when re-importing

I have experienced the missing RP message (below) when I try to re-import the CalculiX input file. I looked at the source code, InpFileReader.cs, and I’m not sure what is the best way to address this. For example, if it is best to add the Reference Points at the *RIGID BODY keyword level or should do it at the *NSET level. Any thoughts?

Well, support for importing .inp files is lacking.

The problem is that *Rigid body can exist without a Reference point in Calculix (not in PraPoMax). So importing it in a *Rigind body section might not be OK. I would have to look into it in more detail to have a correct answer.

I see. Yes, that was one of the things that I was thinking about when I attempted to “fix it”. I don’t know how the exporter works yet, but I will try to take a look there to see if we can use the same logic.
