No. By definition a modal analysis solves the equation:
[M]{a} + [K]{x} = 0
where:
[M] is the mass matrix
{a} is the acceleration vector
[K] is the stiffness matrix
{x} is the displacement vector
The zero on the right hand side implies "free undamped motion". There is no allowance in CAESAR II to change this zero value - which is how you apply the temperature to achieve your prestress.
