Frequency Response in FSI

Hello,
I would like to obtain the frequency response of a damped cantilever. I can do this in the solid mechanics interface simply by putting an arbitrary, stationary load on the free end of the cantilever, doing a frequency domain study, and plotting "solid.uAmpZ" (oscillations in z direction only) for a point on the free end. When I attempt to do the exact same thing except only using FSI (plotting "fsi.uAmpZ"), I get zero amplitude all around! Is there a reason for this, or have I just made a mistake? Any help is appreciated.
