To assign a seismic load in a structure there are two

steps. First you have to define the seismic load and

then you have to assign the load to the structure.
1> Seismic definition:
To calculate the seismic load acting on the structure, there are different
parameters which should be defined at first. On basis of those factors using
the standard formula, defined in any standard code, the seismic load is
calculated. In this particular part, those parameters like zone factor,
performance factor or the soil type have to be defined to calculate the
Response acceleration coefficient. In IS-1893 the corresponding values
are given. Also in the technical reference manual in section 5.31.2.5, you
will find some information regarding these.
Next you have to define the seismic weights. It is needed to calculate the
total weight of the structure to calculate the base shear. There are
different types of loading. The self-weight option defines the self-weight of
different members. If there is any load at the nodes you can define it by
joint load option. The load coming from walls can be defined under member
load option. The weight of the floor can be defined using the floor weight
option.

You can select the code you want to follow. The "Include accidental load"
option helps to determine the effects of accidental torsion to account for the
uncertainties in terms of Centre of mass or center of rigidity as there
position cannot be properly located.
2> Load assignment:
Next the seismic load has to be assigned to the structure. For this a new
primary load case has to be created in which the seismic load has to be
added. The seismic load may be applied in X direction or may be in Z
direction. There must be two separate load cases to define seismic load in
different directions. The load factor must be assigned as 1 to define that the
load is acting in the positive direction. You also have to add all other loads
like dead load, live load or wind load. You can do it either by adding those
loads separately in the two different seismic load cases. Or you can create
a different primary load case where you add these loads and then create
another primary load case where you have to use the repeat load case
option to combine the loads. Load combination option, in this case, should
not be used as this is a non-linear case.
The loads due to self-weight or member weight should be assigned in load
case details also. Else the structure will be analyzed only for seismic load
cases.

One most important thing is that you have to assign the seismic load cases
as the first load case before defining any other load case. Else during
analysis it will give some error message.
You can perform P-Delta analyze as this is a non-linear case.
You can also go through Example 14. The problem will help you to
understand.
