Abstract

In this contribution a method is presented, which supports designers in systematically analysing existing components of solutions and uses these results to estimate which working principle, sub-function and thus working structure or function structure has the greater lightweight design potential. The developed method, the Function Mass Estimation, can be used at different levels of abstraction already in the conceptual design phase and thus prepares the assessment and selection of solutions with regard to lightweight design aspects.

Keywords: lightweight design potential, function mass analysis, assessment of lightweight design potential
