Modal Analysis ofoil sump with oil

Hello

I am trying to setup a simple model of an oil sump full of oil to test a coupled fluid/structure modal analysis.

I am not interested in simplified MFLUID method, but in an Fully coupled acoustic analysis method. I set both EIGRL modal analysis extractions method for fluid and structure as suggested in 'ALTAIR tutorial about Half car Acoustic response'.

I get 2 separate modal frequency for fluid and structure, but I am not able to see Structure-Fluid coupled modal frequencies.

It looks like as if a simple coupled analysis is running and not a fully coupled one.

Any suggestion?

    FYI,

     

    The coupled frequencies maybe get output with the coming version of OptiStruct.

    Thank you for support.

    Any way it seems really odd because if it is possible to run a Modal frequency response analysis this mean that a  coupled modal base should be present....

    We will looking for the new version of Optistruct.....
