A computer-aided method for carrying out the structural design of a part subjected to damages having significant effects on its structural integrity, such as an aircraft fuselage section subjected to a PBR event, comprising steps of: Obtaining FE models that include all the relevant information for an optimization analysis for the un-damaged part and for at least one possible damaged part; Defining at least one design variable of said part and at least one design constraint and one load case for said un-damaged part and for said damaged part; Providing at least one simulation module for analyzing one or more failure modes of said part; Iteratively modifying the design variables of said part for the purpose of optimizing said target function by analyzing simultaneously said un-damaged part and said at least one damaged part using said at least one simulation module.
