    For undamped Modal Analysis:

    analysis = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0]
reader = analysis.GetResultsData()
reader.ListTimeFreq

    For damped modal analysis the eigenvalues are complex numbers, the returned list needs to be filtered:

    modal_analysis = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0]  # Modal Analysis
reader = modal_analysis.GetResultsData()
eigen_freqs = list(filter(lambda x: x > 0, list(reader.ListTimeFreq)[1::2]))
