I have generated my seismic load using the equivalent static method. However I am getting zero base shears or reactions/forces for that load case. What am I doing incorrectly ?

 

The direction factor may have been specified as zero for that load case. Please go to the Load & Definitions window and double click on the seismic load item as marked below and make sure that you have a non-zero value specified for Factor
