Free-Free Prestressed Modal Analysis

Hello,
I would like to conduct free-free prestressed modal analysis. In other words, the structure has no constraint, but is loaded. Then, this condition is analyzed in modal analysis. First I use linear statics, followed by Normal Modes by STATSUB(PRELOAD). I also tried nonlinear static solution with follower forces too.
Apparently, analyses go flawlessly until I get the results. I see that three rigid modes are missing! I've searched in internet and found out that this is a common problem, even NX Nastran mentioned about this fact in Basic Dynamics User Guide.
I was wondering, if anyone here, attacked such a problem and had a workaround?
Thank you,
Ozan
