These are connecting nodes (not physical nodes) for following purposes:
Report loads at a vessel or equipment nozzle: Equivalent in AutoPIPE to a Reference Point. This is a better solution allowing either loads and allowable limits (e.g. from manufacturer) to be reported in a global or local direction. Local is very useful for skewed piping. A reference point can be assigned to any point in the model.
