You can animate the modes and see what deformation they produce. You should be able to see the rigid body modes if you have any.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To get rid of the rigid body modes, you need to use *BOUNDAY_SPC or *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION or other constrains (joints, tied contacts, etc.) so that no parts can fly away. This should eliminate the zero or negative frequencies.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you don&#8217;t want to fully constrain your model, you can ignore the negative or zero frequency modes and look at the first positive non zero frequency. Animate the mode to make sure it is the real first mode of vibration (lowest stiffness of your system).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me know how it goes.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reno.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-359860","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello Tonmoy,Is your model fully constrained?
