The paper presents an efficient and reliable implementation of numerical methods for constrained generalized eigenvalue problems, specialized for the modal analysis of linear elastic structures in a finite-element setting. The implementation, which takes into account the sparsity of the stiffness and mass matrices and the features of master-slave constraints, is based on open-source packages embedded in the finite-element code NOSA-ITACA. Numerical tests on historical building are performed, with the aims of calculating their vibration frequencies and mode shape vectors, comparing them to the results of a general purpose commercial code and assessing the accuracy of the tool developed.
