Where can i find the capacity design option?

The Design Criterion has been left to the Engineers own discretion to allow a higher level of Adaptability of the eurocodes to other calculation methods used in other countries.
Eurocode 8 (EN 1998-1:2005), however, prescribes its use for High and Low ductility classes.

Hi,
1. I have activated the Capacity design in the Code Data: Eurocodes.
2. Then I proceed with the full calculation.
3. Then I Click on the Results icon on the right.
4. From the drop down menu i select "Capacity Design"

How do I proceed after this?
See image attached...

If you have other slabs or shell elements that converge towards the beam and column nodes, the capacity design verification isn't run by the software.
