wallShearStress not calculated
 
I'm studying the Backward facing step with inclined step, and i decided to mesh the geometry in Gambit. Now i'm having a problem in using the utility wallShearStress, it gives only null values of the shear in the x,y,z directions? Why? what can i do? I specified correctly the boundaries from gambit and also from the bondaries file too.

I must specify that the sampling of the wallshearstress can't be done, otherwise the variable is calculated.

Here my sample file:
