In these files there isn't my model, but a simple one that I'm using for tests: a plate clamped at one end. Furthermore, they refer to a static analysis performed...

    Thank you for answer. I have already tried to change options about mass, not about the solution methods (I'm always using default options in nastran, which should be the Lanczos algorithm for a real solutions); by the way, I also used another solver (samcef), and results are the same obtained...

I created the 2 meshes with virtualab, exported as a .dat file, performed an analysis with nastran and, with a matlab routine...
