Dear bakhtiyar,
You are most likely making some modelling errors that lead to such an analysis outcome.
Search this Forum for the expression 'unable to apply' and you will find plenty of discussion on the matter.
Best,
Rui

Check your time-history curves -> time-history stage. It is not defined.

Bakhtiyar,
There are numerous issues why you cannot apply the full load. As Rui Pinho correctly pointed out, carry out a search in the forum; there are numerous posts on how to fix simlar problems.
