and I attach the files I am using. My problem is that -given Mach and flutter index- I should get an unstable aeroelastic response (i.e. the flutter should increase in amplitude), but instead I get always a stable response.

Could you please help me? I really tried to change everything, but the problem is always there.

Thank you in advance
