About 3D very thin geometry meshing problem

I have just wanted to see the thin membrane free vibration in COMSOL 4.4. I have tried to use Solid Mechnics module and Membrane module . I think I have set the physics properly, then meshed , I think the meshing is also ok because no error there , it gives me good mesh. However, as I give compute order then it gives me the ' Singular Matrix ' error . it says there are some number of void equation .
It seems I did not have good quality of meshing for this thin geometry.
I have read ' Membrane Vibration ' module in the Module Library. But I did not solved this ' singular matrix ' error. I have attached the file , I hope someone could give me hints or suggestion.
thank you
Abdu

Hi,
A membrane model without pre-stress is always singular. In the initial configuration there is only in-plane stiffness.
