The global mode estimates of the different Modal Estimators can be viewed in the associated Model List.
You can select the mode or modes using either the mouse, keyboard or the Up/Down buttons in the toolbar 
.
This list lists by default the following values:
- Natural Frequency in Hz as well as the estimated standard deviation.
- Damping Ratio in % as well as the estimated standard deviation.
- Complexity in %.
- An editable field called Comment allowing you to write a descriptive label of the mode.
- Creation Date & Time of the estimate.
In addition, you can in the Properties window enable showing of mode details:
In this Mode Shape Details view the following values are listed:
- DOFs is the Global Node Number point of the geometry.
- Direction is X, Y,or Z coordinate of the mode shape.
- Magnitude is modulus (absolute value) of the complex mode shape value.
- Phase is the angle in radians between the mode shape coordinate and the real axis.
- Real is the real component of the complex mode shape value.
- Imag is the imaginary component of the complex mode shape value.
Deleting a Mode
By selecting one or more modes in the list you can delete them by clicking the button 
.
Exporting Modes to a File
The selected modes can be saved to a file by clicking the button 
. The file types are either Universal File Format or SVS File Format.
Universal File Format
Below is a the file shown when exporting the selected mode above. All files start with UFF Data Sets that describe the global geometry. These are UFF Data Set 15 (Nodes), UFF Data Sets 82 (Trace Lines) and UFF Data Set 2412 (Surfaces). After this section there are as many UFF Data Sets 55 as there where modes selected for export.

SVS File Format
Alternatively to the Universal File Format there is an SVS File Format. The idea of this format is to use a number of keyword followed by values specific to that block. The philosophy is the same as for the SVS Configuration File. Since there can be information about multiple modes saved in the same file, each mode definition start with the keyword BEGIN MODE DEFINITION and ends with the keyword END MODE DEFINITION. Below is a the file shown when exporting the selected mode above.
