As Modestas mentioned, equivalent static seismic load generation as per EC 8 is not possible right now. So as of now you may calculate the seismic shears manually as per the code and apply these as nodal loads. Alternately you may consider generating equivalent static load generation as per other widely accepted international standards like the IBC/ASCE which is currently available in STAAD.Pro. The static equivalent seismic load generation as per EC8 will be considered for implementation in future versions of the product.
