Can you attach your Tcl files (Zipped) ?

Here's the modified file.
You were combining only the 3rd column.

Now I set up a script that combines all components.
Then it creates a Nx12 matrix (stored in a file) where N is the number of elements, with the CQC-combined forces.

It was just a round-off error before computing the square root.
It can happen when a mode is not excited in the requested direction.

Now I added a small check to handle this rare round-off errors
