Millipede stresslines not appearing

I’m trying to script ‘stresslines with millipede,’ but it’s not working, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Looks like you didn’t defined the supported region+load region and the boundary region as well for Topostruct 2D.
It’s nonsense to expect millipede draw a streamline without knowing how the load works and supports take your geometry.

Oops, sorry.

The bottom will ‘rest on the ground,’ but all surfaces will experience ‘pressure.’
It might be that my case is unusual (I could not find any similar case on the internet).

Looks like your case is for 3D, not 2D right?

Ah-ha, I first have to change that of course… :sweat_smile: ha-ha

First I choose for 2D because I only have sufrace and I previous trials (before this) the 3D one didn’t went along the surfaces. Now with 3D I do not get a stressline result.

I’m afraid all your settings seem to be wrong.
I recommend you to download and study the example files of the Millipede plugin.

Is there somebody who knows what to add to the seeds of the stresslines component, in a 3D setting?

There is no similar example that explains that nor on the internet something I can find that explains it.

I have tried to solve this for over the last 5 days, still, I cannot deliver the result I want.

Thanks in advance for your response.
