Chapter 391 JJ9, and the multi-field simulator TORCHMultiphysics
When Chang Haonan sent away the CCTV camera crew and returned to the conference room, the crowd surrounding Sun Huizhong had basically dispersed. dropped.
Only Yao Mengna and another engineer from the Structural Strength Institute were still communicating with him, but the topic had changed to aircraft design and was no longer related to the software.
In general, judging from Sun Huizhong’s reaction after using it, this software is already quite complete, but it still needs to make the design of the UI interface and menu bar more user-friendly. And provide more detailed teaching.
He even said that if the tutorials that come with the software are inconvenient to be too large, then a detailed technical manual can be published and sold separately, so as to get the best of both worlds.
In this era where even computer games come with paper strategy books (often as a means to prevent piracy), Sun Huizhong's idea is actually not outrageous.
A lot of software makes two bucks this way.
However, Chang Haonan’s thinking is still more advanced. The price of the product he sells already includes services. Moreover, when the software is first released, the main purpose is to promote the user range, so he finally decided to follow the genuine version. The software comes with a CD-ROM version of the usage tutorial.
Whether it is useful or not is another matter, at least you have to show your posture.
Subsequently, Chang Haonan called the persons in charge of each module together, and based on Sun Huizhong’s feedback just now, asked them to make another overall modification to the software front-end and prepare for pre-packaging.
If nothing else happens, the first V0.1.0 public beta will be released after this modification.
However, due to the limited penetration and quality of the Internet at this time, real-time online updates cannot be achieved. Therefore, even if it is a beta version, he must ensure that the software has basic stability and usable functions. It cannot be like Like some companies in later generations, they first released a version with extremely poor stability to make money, and then slowly fixed the bugs through updated patches.
Moreover, the number of companies and institutions that have submitted applications to participate in the public test has exceeded 100, far exceeding Chang Haonan's initial expectations. They still need to focus on producing a batch of installation CDs and activation codes.
In short, it may take about five to seven days.
It’s just that there are not many parts of this work that Chang Haonan needs to be personally responsible for.
"Mr. Chang, speaking of which, our software doesn't seem to have a formal name yet?"
After the tasks were assigned, someone suddenly raised such a question.
"Yes, Mr. Chang, you should choose the name of the software."
"And the logo of the software must be decided by Mr. Chang."
Others Quickly echoed.
"Is this..."
Chang Haonan has thought about this problem before:
"I think that our future company should become China's pioneer in the field of industrial and commercial software. From this perspective, I think the name can be called the 'Torch' Group. In this case, as the first software operated by the company, the icon and LOGO can be made into a torch."
"As for the name of the software, our main selling point is that it can handle simulation calculations of multiple physics fields at the same time and perform multi-disciplinary optimization in parallel, so in order to make people intuitively feel this advantage."
Chang Hao Nan said this, picked up half a piece of chalk from the side, walked to the blackboard that Sun Huizhong had just used, and wrote a few big words on it:
"How about calling it the 'Torch' multi-field simulator."
Then he added a line of English below:
"The corresponding English name is, TORCMultiphysics."
The two names, as well as the LOGO design proposal, were unanimously approved without any doubt.
Anyway, as long as the company can be built in the end, someone will naturally explain the meaning of the name to you, even if the name is completely imagined.
Like "BYD=buildyourdream".
Although it may not sound domineering enough, if you think about it carefully, it seems that the names of peers such as "google", "Microsoft", and "ANSYS" are also that virtue.
So everyone quickly accepted this setting and got up to go back and do their own thing. Only the person in charge of front-end design asked Chang Haonan if he needed someone to design the logo.
The latter thought for a while and said there was no need to spend the money. Then he found a piece of paper nearby and drew a somewhat abstract version on it.
Fortunately, it's not ugly.
Then I drew the artistic word "torch" underneath.
After all, on some occasions, it is still necessary to display the company name.
Although Chang Haonan's painting talent is limited, LOGO design mainly depends on one idea. He will definitely find someone to convert it into a PNG image format later, so he does not need to worry about it.
……
After sending away the group of people responsible for software development, Chang Haonan approached Sun Huizhong, who was sweating because he had just answered the questions intensively.
"Gong Sun, what are your next plans?"
The basic design of the advanced trainer aircraft has been completed. According to the normal process, the next step should be the wind tunnel, detail optimization and preparation for prototype production. .
But the project of higher education aircraft has not yet been officially approved. After all, Guizhou Airlines is not as rich as Chengdu or Shengjing, and its own hardware conditions are also very poor. It is difficult to complete these processes with self-raised funds. .
“I am still planning to go back to Guizhou Province with Xiaolin first. Although there is no funds allocated yet, we can let Yunma Factory increase its production capacity according to the design requirements first.”
Sun Huizhong looked at the aerodynamic and structural design drawings on the laptop in front of him and replied.
Although he thought he was mentally prepared for Chang Haonan's level, being able to completely determine the overall design plan of a new aircraft in such a short period of time still gave him a considerable feeling. sense of unreality.
Although TORCH Multiphysics is not a professional digital manufacturing software, in the process of structural design, it reserves space for aircraft assembly gap coordination and digital padding compensation, which greatly improves the efficiency of digital production improvements.
However, for Guihang, which has been building the J-7 before, the technological requirements for this "quasi-third-generation aircraft" are a leap forward, and it still takes them a while to adapt.
“It’s okay, after all, your model needs to be used for technical verification of the new inlet of Project 10. I estimate that after the first flight in Chengdu, the project approval should be completed soon.”
< br>
Chang Haonan nodded and replied:
"However, after the project is completed, you still have to show some efficiency and try to build the prototype as quickly as possible. With the current capabilities of this aircraft, In terms of flight performance, especially the maneuverability at high elevation angles, if it can catch up with the Farnborough Air Show next year, it will directly increase the visibility of our airline, which will have a positive impact even on domestic orders.”
In this day and age, Chinese people still attach great importance to the opinions of foreigners.
No way, due to the limitations of the times, in the late 1990s, Europe and the United States were indeed highly developed.
Therefore, even if the products are mainly for the domestic market, they are often willing to go overseas for gold plating at some unknown expos, so that they can increase their value a lot after returning.
Not to mention an exhibition as influential as the Farnborough Air Show.
If you can surprise everyone with your skills on such an occasion, even the final assembly will take a high look when making purchase plans.
Moreover, judging from the naming of Guihang Airlines as FTC2000, they had plans to sell overseas from the beginning.
Then it’s even more important to get out.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chang, our entire Guizhou Airlines, from the chairman to the grassroots employees, are waiting for this model to save lives. As long as the prototype aircraft is allocated, I guarantee with my head that the speed and quality will not be exceeded. Question! ”
Sun Huizhong's tone was decisive.
