My pushover curve doesnt showing any yeilding point (SAP2000) produce a straight curve, this happens on the X-axis, and my building is shaped like a stadium, what makes it wrong?
Please check the hysteresis model you have used in your non-linear analysis. I think that at least you must define cracking and yielding points in the analysis of your building. Otherwise, the received curves will always be straight.

You should define nonlinear hinges for your beam columns . Here is my YouTube tutorial please have a look SAP2000 v24 tutorial : Pushover Analysis of an RC framed structure using higher modes
