With the inversion of procedure of method N2 used
for assessment of the performance, can be developed a

Conlusion
N2 method can be used both for the seismic performance
evaluation of newly designed or existing structures.
Furthermore, by reversing the analysis process, the method
can be used as a tool for the implementation of direct

from a predetermined target displacement. The limitations of
