This dialog can be accessed from the Model > Seismic > Equivalent static / accidental torsion load menu command. This command creates a load case corresponding to either an equivalent static load or an accidental torsion load to a selected seismic code.

In many cases simplified analysis methods using equivalent static loading are used in seismic analysis. The static loading to be considered will normally be defined with reference to a design code.
