        in the modal result, deformation, all flexible bodies show up.

        but theres only a point to represent the rigid body .

        How to show the whole rigid body

      According to your title "How to show rigid body in mode shape?" 
      I've recommended a video course that I think could be useful for you. Please take a look and let me know if it isn't helpful or if your question is different.

      Rigid body is modeled as a point mass. Rigid bodies do not deform.

      If you set the deformation scale factor to 1 (True scale), you can see the geometry for the rigid body displayed
