In this paper, we present a new methodology about reliability of systems of systems. We present also an example which combines the information transformation in complex systems and virtual design of this system based on finite element analysis. This example is help to balance the performances and the costs in complex system, or provide the optimal solution in manufacturing design. It can also update the existing design of component by changing the new design of this component.
