- load FEM 3D example
- change to analysis type frequency
- change from first 15 to first 8 frequencies
- delete constraint fixed and constraint force
- run analyisis
- the imaginary part in Hz is missing
- screen and file attached

no the number and four values ... see my screen from dat file !

Why not using numpy arrays against math with a loop as you use now?

I am unsure, but we may do something totally wrong or missunderstand ...

Attached a screen. The green value is presentet to the user as Eigenmode Frequency for mode no 8. This is what FreeCAD does ATM. As far as I read the table ther is no imaginary part in cycles / time. Attached the screen again.

What makes me unsure is the Eigenvalue. AFAIK the eigenvalue is the natural frequency, but we have two columns one for Eigenvalue and one for the frequency ...

Mhh, I should do more earthqake analyses ... I would better know than ...

This is surprising and different from what I remember. I will look into it and compare to what I did for the bridge.

EDIT: the natural frequency in rad/s is the square root of the eigenvalue of the free vibration problem.

great

than what is the column eigenvalue for? Do you know some paper which explains all this without tons of integrals and matrix operations ... :oops: wikipedia does not a good job here IMHO.
