In particular, we show how to minimize mass, while safety performance including the material properties toughness and strength at low temperatures, is maximized. The Case Study is inspired by a paper presented by NASA [1] and is pertinent to materials used for, e.g., Space Shuttle tanks and the cryogenic tanks of Ariane rockets. Granta EduPack enables informed materials choices
