Hi again,
I obtain a strange output from an otherwise perfectly reasonable BMODES run. Modes n. 11 and 18 are completely zero, although with a normal frequency.
I do not care particularly about so high-numbered modes, I just wanted to check if this is normal, and/or could point to some input error. The other modes seem normal.
Here an excerpt of the output:
