Abstract The main objective of this paper is to introduce a novel method to develop a multi-material body-in-white concept with composite material or hybrid material system. A new method based on the work of Durst (2008) is presented, which works basically in three steps. In the first step, the anisotropy of the components is analyzed to pre-evaluate the potential of FRP-suitable parts. In the second step, the predominating orientation of every finite element is determined and clustered to get a first impression of an appropriate laminate architecture. In the last step, a suitable design with a preliminary stacking sequence is calculated. To prove the feasibility of this method, it has been applied to simple flat coupons and a body-in-white component to show that the method leads to reasonable results.
