Natural frequencies and mode shapes

Hi. I have a problem. I want to find de natural frequencies and mode shapes of a .stl file. I used this example https://la.mathworks.com/help/pde/examples/structural-dynamics-of-tuning-fork.html, but, matlab doesn't when i import my .stl file

Do you have Partial Differential Equation toolbox installed on you system? To use importGeometry you must have license for this toolbox & MATLAB version should be above 2015a.
The problem is in the calculation of frequencies. With the stl file in the example it works correctly, but when I import a stl file that I made in solidworks, the program takes too long to do the calculation. I don't really know if it does the calculation, since I have to force the closure of matlab.
