Rigid Body Modes
When a body is not adequately supported, it can translate or rotate
as a whole without deformation. A body without any restraints has six
rigid body modes; 3 translations and 3 rotations. The software finds rigid
body modes in addition to the requested number of flexible modes. The
frequency of a rigid body mode is zero which means an infinity period.

You must restrain the model properly for linear dynamic studies.
