<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Dear people,</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">I am currently trying to find a way to visualize load paths with results from static finite element analysis within solid structures. For this FE-analysis I use Altairs software suite (Hypermesh/Optistruct/Hyperview).</div>

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">From reading several different publications I know that there is an easy way to visualize the load path with the attached file with the use of TecPlot.</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">I received the attached file from Herbert Moldenhauer who relys on D.W. Kellys methods for visulaizing the load path within structures.</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">It would really help a lot to get more information about the background of the stream tracer filters, because I am currently struggeling to format the input properly. As far as I know I need a field of vectors ("The
dataset must contain a field array with 3 Components. An Array of vectors (point-centered) is required"), but with the attached file for example I am not able to use the stream tracer filter.</div>

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!</div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Thank you very much in advance!</div>
