Of course. Here is the breakdown formatted in reStructuredText, suitable for documentation.

To convert the eigenvalues obtained from the generalized eigenvalue problem into natural frequencies, use the following relationships:
58+
59+
**Eigenvalue** (`:math:\lambda`)
60+
This is the direct numerical output from the `model.eigen` call. Each eigenvalue corresponds to a specific vibration mode and represents the square of the natural angular frequency for that mode.
61+
62+
**Angular Frequency** (`:math:\omega`)
63+
The angular frequency, measured in **radians per second**, is the square root of the eigenvalue.
64+
65+
.. math::
66+
67+
\omega = \sqrt{\lambda}
68+
69+
**Natural Frequency** (`:math:f`)
70+
The natural frequency, measured in **Hertz (Hz)**, represents the number of oscillations per second. It is calculated by dividing the angular frequency by :math:`2\pi`.
71+
72+
.. math::
73+
74+
f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{\sqrt{\lambda}}{2\pi}
