torsional mode (T=0.586s). This is bad. Try changing configuration of your

translational+rotational in a complex way all at once. The shape, geometry, Thanks .. So for the weak storey, the
configuration of shear walls etc is not regular or you are trying to model a very stiff method mentioned in earlier posts of

 1. Increase modes from 12 to have SumRx more than 90%.

2.

first mode is translation in x plus some torsion.

second mode is pure translation y.

Administrator
third mode is torsional + x-translation.
