1D elements force Vector plot

I have a problem plotting  Vector for 1D elements force. 
My request is very simple !  request to plot such forces on cbush elements in use to simulate a junctions .

I have a Simple model Sol Nastran 106 (only large disp). I import model and results .op2 with :

1) nastran model input reader 

2) math table : advanced .

it's not the first time I've done this but it's the first time I can't see the vectors!! 

only if i see Results : 1D Vector i see only the modulus ( x,y, mag).

what am i missing?!?  the strange thing is that this type of "lack" comes to me alone for these sol 106 models… why ?!?! 
HELP me please

    Ciao Giovanni,

    in this case you need to activate the "small deformation" flag in the attribute for the model as I am showing in the picture below.

    This will let HV using the undeformed coordinate system to display the value of vector and tensors for NL solution.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers
