Hyperview - Element Force Vector Plot

Hi all,

I'm trying to extract fastener loads from a model using a vector plot in HyperView, but unable to plot the vectors for some reason.  The model is created in HyperMesh and run in OptiStruct.  I have a very simple model, with a 3D mesh body with a rod connected via RBE2 (SPC and force load applied to the model).

I open the model and results in HyperView and can create contour plots with no problem.  I also created a displacement vector plot without issue.  However when I try to create a vector plot of element forces for the rod element, I see no results (legend just shows "N/A").  I have checked and element force output is requested in the model.  What am I doing wrong???  Any input would be appreciated!  Thanks.
