Abstract
The Statistical Design Support System**™ is based upon the design of experiments (orthogonal array design) and FEM analysis. The orthogonal array is used to define a set of finite element analyses (FEA), and by the analysis of variance of the FEM results, the correlation between the objective functions and the design factors can be expressed as a set of chebyshev's orthogonal functions. And then, the other design processes are treated using these approximate functions (estimation expressions). In this study, the
