It is better to use Rigid Diaphragm commands and then, use CHECK SOFT STOREY 1893 command. On doing this, the program computes storey stiffness using a displacement based approach. An approximate method will be used if you don’t use this method. You need to add FLOOR HEIGHT command along with a IS:1893 seismic load case. Please refer to the attached model.
