Target displacement

Hi there,

I'm trying to evaluate the target displacement of my Push-Over-Analysis. I used the Accel load case to receive the pushovercurve and according to Eurocode 8 the target displacement are generated for Damage limitation, Significant damages and near collapse are 0,5; 1,0 and 1,5 of the load case. Now if I change the scale factor of the loadcase obviously nothing changes in the pushover curve. SAP2000 has the option to get the target displacement via atc-40 capacity spectrum methode. for this I could scale the Response Spektrum to get the target displacements, but I'm not sure if that is, how it's done.. Does anybody know, how to get these results?

thanks in advance!! :)
