  I am doing a natural frequency simulation of a rectangular bar of uniform cross-section (simple shape). I seem to be limited to the first 6 modes. Is there any way to go beyond mode 6?

  Hello Paul Bosomworth
  
  Are you using Ansys Discovery or Discovery Live or Discovery AIM?

    Hi Subashni,

  Hello Paul Bosomworth
  
  This option is available in Refine mode only. In Explore mode Discovery calculates six modes by default.
  
  Please refer Help documentation for more information.
