Sorry I am late replying, have been ill.
I am relativly new to FreeCad and have no experience in Python, so i have possible misunderstood the post on Steady State Dynamic Analysis. So would like to check if I understood it correctly.
What I understood and did was make a simple part to test on before moving on to my actual part.
Then on my simple test part I set up a FEM study ( Chose material, Contraints, Force and Mesh) , Then ran the solver and edited the file to replace the 'Static Step' with the 'Steady State Dynamics Step' you wrote in the bridge thread.
It gives an error message : "*ERROR in steadystate: cannot open eigenvalue file for reading", but still says that it is done and opening results but never does.
(See below for complete message)

I have attached my test part, but that is just a basic part made to see if I could get it to work.
