Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis Not Working!

Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis Not Working!

Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis Not Working!

(OP)
I am trying to perform a nonlinear static pushover analysis for my shear wall. Im am designing a steel plate shear wall, and I have previously successfully ran a pushover analysis on a concrete shear wall. I have set up the load combos, load cases, mass source, time history function, etc the exact same, but when I run the analysis, it tells me that "The monitored displacement is zero for case: Push". I have attached the SAP file for you to look over.

A quick heads up on my load setup. For the Load patterns (Dead and Live), the self weight multiplier is 0 because all of the weights are calculated in the loads applied and defined in the mass source definition.

My masters project is due in two days and I have no one to help with the issue so I thank you for any help you can provide.
