    Using Time Frequency Support. If the Modal analysis is damped the frequencies are stored as imaginary frequencies.

    import mech_dpf

mech_dpf.setExtAPI(ExtAPI)
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

dpf.DataProcessingCore.LoadLibrary("math", r"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v211\aisol\bin\winx64\Ans.Dpf.Math.dll")

# Please change the analysis system index
ds = mech_dpf.GetDataSources(0)

time_provider = dpf.operators.metadata.time_freq_provider()
time_provider.inputs.data_sources.Connect(ds)

    Damped Modal Analysis

    natural_freqs = time_provider.outputs.time_freq_support.GetData().ImaginaryFreqs.Data

    Undamped Modal Analysis

    natural_freqs = time_provider.outputs.time_freq_support.GetData().TimeFreqs.Data
