Free and Porous flow + structural mechanics module (poroelasticity problem)

Hi,
I am using the free and porous fluid module to model a porous matrix coupled with a free fluid domain, I want also to add to the porous matrix domain the solid mechanics module to model a poroelastic problem, the only problem that I have is that accordingo to the poroelasticity theory the fluid inside the porous domain must cause a stress in the solid matrix but this not happen.
I impose as boundary conditions:
-pressure flow input in the porous domain
-pressure outlet in the free fluid domain
how can I use the solid mechanics module in order to add the poroelastic behaviour?
thanks for the answer.
Best regards
