Obtaining the list of Frequencies in a Modal/Frequency Analysis - possible with Hyperview?

Whenever I run a Modal/Frequency Analysis (by assigning appropriate EIGRL load collector card in Hypermesh), and open the result file in Hyperview - I am able to view the list of various Frequencies/Modes in the form of a Drop-down text box and by clicking each item in there, I am able to view the result for that corresponding frequency.

Now, my question is how can I obtain this list of all frequencies in a text file or text format? It is particularly necessary for me because I have to prepare a Report (in Powerpoint format) for the analysis, in which I need to be able to list out all the frequencies and their modes. As the frequencies are listed only in a drop-down text box, it is inconvenient for me to manually note down down each frequency & type them individually into my PPT slide (particularly as my analysis has more than 50 modes). Is there a way to obtain the list of these frequencies in text format, so that I can easily copy-paste the same into my Report?

BTW, I am running the analysis with NASTRAN solver.

    Im not a NASTRAN user but i suppose that the solver generates a result file that you can open with notepad or something like that. In radioss that file is the *.out file, where you can find a list of the fequencies in a easy way to copy in powerpoint/excel.

    The .f06 results file for NASTRAN includes a table of the mode number, eigenvalue, and frequency results.

    Great ETG! That works. Just as you said, I got the list of frequencies from the f06 file under the EIGENVALUES table in 'cycles' column.

    Again, thanks very much for your help.
