Mass participation factor. Imposible to approach 90%

I am having some difficulties when I try to reach 90% of mass at least in 1 direction, to do a seismic a analysis of the structure. I tried to find it but as you can see in the attached picture . Thank you very much for your help. File attached

As it is a slab the vertical vibrations are what you may expect to be the dominant factor. Try to switch off the vertical mass.

Thanks Artur, I've read in other post that it's not necesary to reach 90% of total acumulated mass in one direction, it's only a recomendation. I've done another analysis with 100 modes and still the structure hasn't 90% of the mass...

To be honest I'm not sure what is your objective as 90% in horizontal directions seem to be intended for a building (vertical cantilever) rather than for a slab that vibrates in the vertical direction.
