Dear vijaycv404,
In order to see the base shear results of your analysis follow the steps below. Hope they will help.
1) Go to Display >> Show tables
2)From the next form under "Building output" select "Storey shears"
3) On the right Click "Select cases/ combos", to display the "select output" form. From this form select the output case for which you want the base shear, say EQX, EQY etc( a lateral load case).
4) OK both forms to see the next table of results ie the storey shears table. Suppose you chose EQX, under storey shears VX, the shear will be maximum at the base. this is the base shear. For your case it will be your last storey at the bottom, say the ground floor( whatever the case may be)
