Abstract:
1. A computer-aided method implemented by a computer for designing an aeronautic system forming all or part of an aircraft, the computer-aided method comprising: extracting a plurality of different configurations of the system from a database; estimating by the computer, for each of the plurality of different configurations, a maintenance time cost of said system for a given period of use, the estimating including generating by the computer, based on the estimating, a graphical interface representing the maintenance time cost of at least one configuration of the system, the graphical interface representing the first component as a first part of a bar and representing a worst case situation for the first component, which corresponds to a maximum flight time lost subsequent to a system failure preventing the aircraft from flying, as a second part of the bar, the first part of the bar being distinguished from the second part of the bar; and selecting the configuration of the system having a lowest maintenance time cost.
