MFLUID Analysis?

Does anyone know which analysis you have to perform in order to get MFLUID results?

Here's a quick description of my model:
- Pressure vessel.
- Wetted element surfaces are on the inside of the vessel.
- MFLUID connections made on the wetted surface of the elements.
- MFLUID reference coordinate system is at the geometric center of the pressure vessel.
- I have "Z Free Surface" turned off.
- There is XZ Plane symmetry.
- The model is constrained using inertial relief (set to "AUTO").
- Aft loads are applied to components attached to the exterior surface of the pressure vessel.

I've run a couple of analyses (static and transient dynamic). The analyses run, but produce an output file with no useful information (it just echos the inputs). There are no fatal errors, and one warning message (NEi Nastran doesn't seem to recognize the symmetry field, so it says that field is ignored).

I use FEMAP and NEi Nastran.

Any help or guidance on this topic will be greatly appreciated!
