most likely your selections don't contain any atoms. please keep in mind
that VMD has no mind reading capability and thus cannot know information
that you ​don't provide. you use a selection "name Si"; have you checked
whether you actually have atoms in your trajectory file with the name Si.
the pink color of the visualization suggests, you don't.
