  I have a cantilever beam with a fixed support on one side and a point mass on a surface. When I clicked 'Solve', no solution was shown. What did I do wrong?

  you need to insert a 'total deformation' to 'solution' to see the modeshapes.
  Besides, the first 6 frequencies are all 0. That often means your model is not constrained properly.

  Hi Galaxy,
  It seems the model is not constrained, which is why you are getting zero frequencies as the part is experiencing rigid body motion. Kindly check that all parts are constrained properly, and then request the total deformation results to get the mode shapes. Please check out the below course on Modal analysis.
