Based on the specified specifications of the product, the research focuses on two factors of manufacturability and function to design the product, then analyzes and simulates the function mechanism of the hydraulic brake caliper by the finite element analysis, through which various actual situations proposed by this paper can be analyzed and predicted, so that the result from the mechanical property analysis of each main structural component can be understood, and the product feature can be clearly mastered in the phase of design. In addition, the weight lightening and its rule can be achieved in this product design mode and new design might be further proposed. Following this procedure, the finite element analysis result of the last designed product is repeatedly confirmed by the stress measurement in order to achieve the purpose of weight lightening. The research shows that the result of the finite element analysis matches the actual measurement, which demonstrates the function mechanism of simulating this hydraulic brake caliper is correct and successfully reduces the weight of the hydraulic brake caliper by 31.9% through the use of the analysis result.
