how to find forces for reinforcement calculation in a reinforced concrete slab

The raft foundation in STAAD.Pro has been loaded and the base pressure calculated. I am looking for guidelines on which internal forces should be considered to calculate the reinforcement in the slab. Is it possible to obtain the required reinforcement for the slab directly in STAAD.Pro, or what steps can be taken to simplify the reinforcement design?
