No problem, we have the same example in PLAXIS 3D, too:

In any case, the theory and applications are the same in PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D.

Thanks a lot for the reply. You have suggested plaxis 2d tutorials. I am working on 3d. Will it be effective

Dear Aamir,

From your questions, I understand that you are interested in the basics of running a seismic analysis.

In short, you can apply the signal using a surface prescribed displacement.

My first suggestion would be to follow our tutorial example: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45568/plaxis-2d-tutorial-16-free-vibration-and-earthquake-analysis-of-a-building

Then, you can continue reading more on our Wiki pages, such as the following. Note that the last two links are from webinars we have recorded in the past.
