Hello, it's me again

With the new defined fluid mass method for slosh in Simcenter (NX) Nastran, the old method of determining the number of rigid body modes was incorrectly flagging some slosh modes as rigid. This small change updates the logic to look for eigenvalues, a.k.a. lambda, less than 1. In my testing on real-world models, this works for fixed and free-free structures with slosh.

I'm going to close this PR because it still doesn't seem to always solve the problem, and I don't want to change this logic until I have something that works. I'll open an issue and assign it to myself in the meantime.
