It seems to be the fault of the density unit. I’m not familiar with the imperial system but I know that density units become particularly tricky when a consistent imperial unit system is required in FEA. It seems to be the same problem as here: [Centrifugal Loadings - Imperial Units Error? - V1.4.1+](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/centrifugal-loadings-imperial-units-error-v1-4-1/1607)

and, for whatever reason, dividing the density by 386.1 gives reasonable results.

Old thread about those units in PrePoMax: [Density to Mass Conversion (Modal Analysis)](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/density-to-mass-conversion-modal-analysis/227)
