      Effective damping ratio of mode n can be retrieve with *GET:
      *GET, Par, MODE, n, DAMP
      In addition, strain energy per material after the modal analysis:
      /POST1
      SET,1,jj !jj is the desired mode number
      *DO,ii,1,nbmat !nbmat is the maximum number of material
      ESEL,S,MAT,,%ii%
      ETABLE,energy%ii%,SENE
