Method for producing a structural component

A method for producing a structural component in a mold comprising at least one recess, comprising:

• laying a reinforcing element and a core in the at least one recess;
• laying an arrangement of fibers and plastic material in the mold;
• and
• subjecting the laid arrangement of fibers and plastic to an increased pressure and an increased temperature,
• wherein a differential volume between the at least one recess and the core, at least in a predetermined region, is chosen to be smaller by a predetermined amount than a predetermined segment of the reinforcing element arranged in the predetermined region to maintain a pressure on the reinforcing element,
• wherein the increased pressure is applied by a membrane which delimits an oil pressure chamber,
• wherein the reinforcing element becomes soft and attains a viscous, syrup-like state from the increased temperature, and
• wherein the increased temperature is achieved by feeding oil into the oil pressure chamber at an increased temperature in a range of 350° C. to 410° C.
