- 50% lower stress & 18% lower
weight in the redesigned carrier
- Not a single carrier failed prematurely
in prototype testing
“We were extremely pleased that we
were able to come up with a rather
unusual design that would not have
been possible without the extensive
use of design simulation. Using I-
DEAS Master Series™, we even
managed to reduce the weight of the
component by 18%.”

British Aerospace
• Situation
- Established supplier of high-tech
aerospace and defense engineering to
the Aerospace/ Defense market
- Design the power supply for a new
system to protect aircraft from the latest
generation of infrared missiles
• Situation
• Goals
- Meet the safety and performance
requirements and a weight target set by a
competitive plastic part.
- Base the new brake pedal on past
designs. “While it’s still early in our
implementation, I-DEAS
software has already helped us
reduce the weight of a brake
pedal by 26%. We can now
generalize the integrated
development and analysis
methodology we used on this
component to a whole calls of
brake pedals.”
