A new method to calculate the response of nonlinear behaving systems is described. The two fundamentals of the modal capacity method are the principle of a modal capacity method are the principle of a modal reduction on the one hand and the capacity design method on the other hand. The nonlinear behavior of systems can be expressed by nonlinear modes in combination with a new superposition method. The procedure can be used either for the design of systems [Nor95] or to derive existing systems similar to the ultimate load method [WSK91]. Because of the modal reduction of the modal capacity method transputer systems can be used in a very efficient way.
