Program calculates Sa/g for each mode utilizing time period & damping for each
mode.
The program then calculates mode participation factor for different modes.
The Peak lateral seismic force at each floor in each mode is calculated.
The peak response quantities are then combined as per method (CQC or SRSS
or ABS or TEN or CSM) as defined by the user to get the final results.
The design base shear VB (Calculated from the Response Spectrum Method) is
compared with the base shear Vb (Calculated by empirical formula for the
fundamental time period).
If VB is less than Vb, all of the response quantities are multiplied by Vb/VB
as per clause 7.8.2.
Response spectrum Load definition you have to define within Seismic Load
definition.
If you have to define all other load cases before defining this definition.
3. For calculating design seismic forces imposed load on roof need not be
considered.

By reviewing the results, if the modes are very close, change the SRSS Method to CQC
method.
Also see whether the mass participation factor is more than 90% as per code.
Check whether Missing weight is Dynamic Weight Modal Weight.
Also check the design base shear VB is compared with the base shear Vb.
If VB is less than Vb, multiply the value of X by (0.036) x Vb/VB as per clause 7.8.2
and again Run the analysis once again to get accurate results.
