A method for designing an engine case static structure of a gas turbine engine includes creating signals representing an engine case static structure knowledge base of information. The knowledge base has a plurality of design rule signals with respect to a corresponding plurality of parameter signals of associated elements of an engine case static structure, wherein the knowledge base comprises at least one data value signal for each of the plurality of design rule signals. A desired data value signal is entered for a selected one of the plurality of parameter signals of an associated element of the engine case static structure and compared to the corresponding data value signal in the knowledge base for the corresponding one of the plurality of design rule signals. Signals representative of a geometric representation of the selected parameter signal may be created.
