A frequency Event should only consists consist of displacement constraints without any loads or moments.

...

Step 4: Frequency Constraint

As soon as one Event exists with only displacement constraint constraints exists the frequency constraint can directly be set in the GD Scenario:

...

In this case the Frequency Constraint is set to 210 Hz as the target for the first occurring eigenfrequency of the part. Per default the first 10 eigenfrequencies in a range up to 3 times the frequency constraint value are considered. Based on these eigenmodes the part is stiffened to push the the first eigenfrequency upwards.

...

To check the final eigenfrequencies of the part, please run a Re-Analysis with MSC Apex structures.

Creation of a Point Mass

...

Point Masses play an important role in the calculation of eigenfrequencies. Therefore, Point Masses can directly be created directly in Apex GD.

In this case a Point Mass of 0.1 kg is attached to the same spot (0; 402.50; 25.00) as the remote Forceforce.

...

By Per default it is connected with a compliant connector (RBE3). Point Masses are after the creation automatically considered for a frequency optimisation after the creation. They are also considered for static load cases if an acceleration is active. For Frequency Optimisations the connector can also be changed to a rigid one (RBE2) with the Advanced User Settings.

Please have a look at all known limitations!
