Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading Chapter 389

【Rebirth 2008: I can make money by reading】【】

The first thing Muyang needs to solve is the 3D design software. Even in 2022, he is not happy with many functions of several 3D design software.

For example, in the 3D design software SOLIWORKS, it is possible to convert 3D drawings into 2D CAD drawings (2D CAD drawings are construction drawings, which must be marked with processing dimensions so that workers can understand them, and 3D drawings are not suitable for construction drawings. , but it is very intuitive. Generally, the drawing is a two-dimensional CAD drawing + a three-dimensional drawing, which can understand the size of the drawing and the appearance of the workpiece intuitively. It is not easy to make mistakes. Otherwise, some people will also look at the CAD drawing wrong picture).

However, there are many faults in the 3D-to-CAD drawing, such as the size of the label is stupid, for example, the font is too small, it is not clear when printed, the dimension chain is incorrect, and the unnecessary dimensions are marked. Well, anyway, there are too many.

Generally, the mechanical designer re-scales the size, which is more troublesome.

Of course, it is also possible to design templates, but it is not easy to use.

Also, the conversion of CAD images into three-dimensional drawings cannot be perfectly realized.

If there is a software, as long as the CAD drawing is clearly expressed, it can be directly converted into a three-dimensional drawing, and it is perfect without dragging the height and length.

The current software function, converting CAD drawings into 3D drawings, must delete some irrelevant annotation texts to operate. In fact, it is no different from stretching on a 3D drawing sketch.

What Muyang wants to solve is that, for example, the CAD drawings drawn by the company do not need to be added or deleted. The new software will automatically identify the needs of mechanical engineers. As long as the designer selects the closed-loop area, the three-dimensional drawing can be generated naturally, and Generate data to design.

It is very difficult to realize this function. If it can be realized, some designers who do not know how to use 3D software do not need to draw 3D drawings, they can just draw 2D drawings. Being more proficient does not mean that it is best to use 3D software to draw or CAD drawings.

To draw a three-dimensional drawing, it also needs to be converted into a CAD drawing. It is more troublesome to draw a drawing, which is also a problem that Muyang needs to solve.

In this era, especially the older designers, they really don't know how to use 3D design software. Many companies do not have mandatory requirements for 3D design, but with the development of the times, higher requirements are placed on mechanical designers and they do not know how to design 3D. The software just doesn't work.

Software is easy to use and easy to learn, but hard to learn.

In addition to the above problems, there are many problems with 3D design software at present.

For example, if you want to choose an M8 bolt, if the software has a standard library, the thread is metric (different from the US), and the lead is all common types. It also has a length that must be selected. material M8 bolts.

If it is designed by Muyang, this software should also be linked with the company's real-time warehouse inventory and market information. For example, if you choose a 60-length bolt, it will show that the warehouse does not have it, or even that the market does not have it, but it is recommended to have 70-length bolts, because the warehouse just has them. , as long as the assembly does not interfere, it can also be used, the bolts, it does not matter if they are longer, but not shorter.

However, if there is no such function, after the drawing is issued, it is found that the bolts of this length cannot be purchased, then it is impossible to process, the processing cost is too high, and only substitutes can be found. These processes will undoubtedly increase the cost, and the drawings must be revised. , and re-issue the drawings, unless it is clear in advance.

But designers have an inertia and are too lazy to check the company's warehouse inventory table.

For this real-time warehouse information, the company has established an ERP warehouse management system, which can be combined. To realize this module, the company needs to do a good job in warehouse data management, and the data is consistent with the actual situation;

For market information, the purchasing department needs to do a good job in data statistics management, which is more troublesome to count and the workload is very large.

This is just an analogy of a commonly used standard part, but these data can be handled by employees. Muyang does not need to be responsible for supplementation and maintenance. He only needs to write this 3D software with logical functions and modules.

For another example, Muyang only needs to draw a hole. If there is a function, it will prompt the bolts, nuts and washers required for the matching. You only need to select and confirm, and it will automatically match. Looking for it in Curry, it is necessary to find a reference plane for assembly when assembling. If the holes are asymmetrical, they have to be assembled one by one, which is too cumbersome.

To achieve this function, it is an identification function, such as finding a hole with a diameter of 8.5, if you want to assemble a bolt and nut, the software will automatically suggest M10 nuts, and even provide how long the bolts are.

In terms of programming logic, the first thing is to judge the existence of this hole, and then to judge the size and depth of the hole. If you want to filter out suitable nuts and bolts, you have to formulate a formula.

Formulas and logic are very important. For example, there will be many holes of different sizes. If one formula can be solved, it will be convenient at runtime. If it can be solved by dozens of formulas, logical judgment will be very troublesome, and the number of program lines will be very long.

There are also many functions, such as welding module, sheet metal design module, steel structure design module, etc., can they be integrated together quickly.

There are too many problems to be solved. If you don't say anything else, just say that it can solve the above functions, it has surpassed all 3D software on the market and has become the world's first technical level 3D software.

Mu Yang rubbed his head, stood up and walked.

Song Xuelu was a little bored at home, walked into his office lightly, saw him rubbing his head, and asked with concern, "Husband, I'm tired and rest for a while."

Sitting next to Mu Yang, make him a pot of tea.

There were drinks and red wine in the refrigerator, but Mu Yang felt that he couldn't drink too many drinks, it was not good for his health, and he was not a good drinker. Red wine was not as refreshing as beer.

In winter, it is impossible to drink beer, and in the office, although no one cares about him, his image is not good.

Xinghai Building has a single-storey area of ​​3,000 square meters. The higher the floor, the smaller the area. The 98th floor also has 2,600 square meters, which are all high-rise offices. In fact, it can't be used up. At present, there are only a few people in the high-rise buildings. Secretary's Office.

Muyang's own office area is 200 square meters, and the glass windows just face the West Lake, which is the best place for sightseeing.

【Rebirth 2008: I can make money by reading】【】

The office area of ​​other high-rises is relatively small, about 70 to 80 square meters.

Mu Yang took a good look at the wife next to his eyes and asked gently, "Are you bored at home?"

"No, I just missed you, come down and see you." Song Xuelu smiled, brushing her hair from her ears.

She has been pregnant for more than three months, and her belly is slightly larger, which is more obvious. Now she wears looser clothes, specially customized.

Mu Yang picked up the tea, took a few sips, and had a casual chat with his wife.

The two talked about drawing software, and Song Xuelu also complained, saying that the school's CAD software was not very good.

"Husband, don't those companies buy genuine CAD?"

Mu Yang smiled, his wife may not know the situation of domestic machinery companies, and explained: "My wife, it's not that Chinese people don't want to buy genuine software, but it's too expensive.

In a small machinery company, there may be only a few designers, or even one person. Let these companies spend 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to buy a set of top-level software, and they have to pay the fee every year. The boss of such a company is unwilling.

Hey, not to mention the foreign brand CAD of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, the domestic brand CAD of several thousand yuan is unwilling to pay every year, it is so realistic. "

Song Xuelu was a little surprised: "Is the genuine CAD sold so expensive? I thought it would cost a few hundred yuan, but one or two thousand at most."

Mu Yang said: "Well, I know a little bit about the market situation. Now a set of domestic CAD costs 8,000 yuan, which is only a one-year fee, and foreign ones are more expensive, usually 1,600 US dollars a set, and the best ones are not sold to We, maybe it's the castrated version, it doesn't necessarily apply.

Note that this set of fees refers to the installation fee used on one computer!

If the whole company can use it, what kind of money will people make, just say that there are discounts when the installation volume is large.

Domestic brands of CAD, to be honest, come with a lot of tool plug-ins, maybe not useful, some tasteless, but in any case, it is definitely much better than pirated ones. "

Song Xuelu nodded: "The cost of use is too high, and users are unwilling to use it, indeed."

"Yes, these bosses feel that it is better to spend this money on recruiting people. Our domestic awareness of using genuine versions is relatively weak."

Mu Yang complained.

Of course, software companies also hope to be able to charge a relatively cheap fee every year like some companies, as long as the number of users is large, they can still make money.

However, most software companies are not well-known. They don't have the strength to do this. In the end, they only want to make money. Of course, this is true. If a company does not make profits, it cannot continue.

So, this is the difference between an entrepreneur and a capitalist.

Capitalists only want to achieve profits and maximize profits. Like Muyang, the first thing that comes to mind is how to break the monopoly of overseas giants, realize localization, how to improve national technology, and enhance national strength. Of course, money is made by the way.

Song Xuelu sighed: "No wonder, the CAD used in our school is still so outdated, in fact, we are reluctant to spend that money, and the genuine software is not much better. I feel that I would rather spend more time drawing."

Mu Yang spread his hands, expressing helplessness: "There are some that are useful, but they are not useful. The teaching CAD version in the university is indeed backward, and it is impossible to imagine the use of the latest genuine CAD in a large enterprise.

【Rebirth 2008: I can make money by reading】【】

Then, the CAD used by students for learning is fundamentally different from that used by enterprises. Some mechanical graduates, new to the company, open the company's CAD, and they are stunned at first glance and do not know how to use it at all.

Of course, if you have a CAD foundation, you can learn it quickly.

It's just that, CAD is such a phenomenon. It's like 3D software with higher technical requirements, it's completely different, and the learning and adaptation process is relatively long.

If it is the result of finite element analysis, pirated software or junk software, it will mislead the calculation result if it is wrong.

And these technically difficult software, the genuine cost is particularly high. "

Muyang went on to say: "I have a goal, if I make these industrial software, then I will open it to universities and colleges for free, and only charge enterprises, even if it is a small workshop, or only one or two use industrial software. Software small companies or individuals can use very advanced industrial software at a very low price every year.

But overseas, it is expensive. "

Mu Yang didn't plan to make money from software, but as long as the volume is large, he can still make money.

Generally, companies can't do this. First, they are not famous enough. Second, they don't have the capital to play like this. They basically lose money in the early stage.

This set of commercial gameplay of Muyang is actually the set of gameplay of Lao Shi. It is free and is the most expensive.

Those mechanical graduates from colleges and universities, as long as they get these people, in eight years, these people have basically become the backbone of the company.

Therefore, within eight years, the entire domestic market will be Muyang, and at that time, there will be no second industrial software on the market.

In fact, Muyang doesn't want to open these software tools to foreigners, and it's unnecessary if you don't make much money. It's better to let domestic companies grab overseas orders.

Huaguo's design plan is produced quickly, the project cycle is short, the overall cost will be much lower, the delivery cycle is fast, and it is more competitive in the international market.

This is what Mu Yang wants to see the most, what's the point of making that money.

Of course, the more money you have, the more delicious it is.

For example, for a company with less than 10 employees, the annual membership fee for a set of software is $10,000 to $20,000. This fee is a bit excessive, but it is not outrageous.

A designer with only about 100 people, no matter how favorable the software price is, they have to pay at least hundreds of thousands of CAD fees a year, and the software is not very good.

Xinghai Group's industrial software is better, but the price unit is changed to US knives.

If it is a little more disgusting, directly bundle other products for sale.

Song Xuelu said, "Husband, you are also contributing to national education in this way. This market should be huge, right?"

"It is indeed relatively large, and the machinery industry using CAD and 3D software has as many people as there are many people in the market.

Not to mention anything else, there are more than 400,000 graduates of undergraduate mechanical-related majors each year, including mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, which are directly related to machinery. Graduates with a master's degree and a doctorate from a junior college, as well as other majors such as over-control, materials, and fluids will also join the machinery industry. The number may only be more than 400,000. There are so many talents replenished every year. Also a pretty huge number.

Therefore, the number of people in the optomechanical industry in the country is very large, and basically everyone uses CAD or 3D software. "

Mu Yang eloquently said, but finally sighed, "However, we have to recognize the fact that our people's awareness of using genuine software is really poor. If there is free software, we can use free software, unless we say our software. Very good~www.mtlnovel.com~ I am willing to spend money to use it.

Some big companies use pirated software, and they are collected for evidence, and the compensation is very large. These software companies pay close attention and specialize in this.

The CAD currently used by our company is our own and can be used for free.

Three-dimensional, using genuine, cost a lot of money.

Those software companies would like us to use pirated software and then sue us, the more we earn, the more we lose. "

"That's really insidious, but my husband is also very shrewd." Song Xuelu laughed.

Mu Yang thief smiled: "That's right, otherwise I won't be able to marry you."

Song Xuelu wrinkled her nose, chatted for a while, and left. It was enough to stop her husband from doing things.

After seeing his wife gone, Mu Yang fell into deep thought again.

Xinghai Group self-developed 3D software, of course it has to be named.

What is it called?

3Dmax has already been used, so it can't be called 3DPLUS.

Like UG, SOLIWORKS, PRO/E, etc. all have unique names.

There is already AUTOCAD, or CAD for short.

Otherwise, it is called AUTO3D?

No software company dares to call it that, it's too awesome, automatic 3D software.

The abbreviation "A3D" or "AD" is also good.

Forget it, Muyang felt that naming was a difficult problem, so it was better to get the product out first. Anyway, it would take a few months to finish the software, and it would take a long time to perfect it later.

First analyze the problem, count which problems you need to solve, then do the general architecture and interface UI design, design the algorithm, write the program, and finally debug the program and improve the program.
