Chapter 492 is too advanced to be displayed
“Can you modify this thing by yourself?”
He Ming next to him was completely confused after hearing this sentence.
Although he has used various engineering software, he has never heard that users can modify the packaged software by themselves.
There may be some technical means to achieve this, but it is obviously not feasible from a legal perspective.
You must know that TORCH Multiphysics is not some foreign software that has not been registered in China. You can use the user agreement as waste paper.
This person is the "model of my country's development of intellectual economy" who was specifically named and mentioned above, so we should still respect him.
“Of course it is impossible to directly modify the packaged software itself, and the user agreement does not allow it.”
Chang Haonan first waved his hand to deny it, but then changed the subject:< br>
“But what I just said is that dynamically adjusting model rules according to changes in object boundaries is a new non-structured mesh generation idea that does not require modifications to the software itself.”
“When TORCH Multiphysics was designed, we anticipated that current users would have special needs and we would not be able to update the version in real time in a short period of time. Therefore, we have reserved a highly customizable interface in advance.”
< br>"Customized interface...what does it mean? When Yao Gong gave us training before, he didn't seem to mention this part?"
He Ming felt like an outsider, unable to squeeze in between the other two. world.
But just now I just didn’t understand the specific technical explanation, and now I don’t even understand the term itself.
“That is, we can write our own toolkit that meets the requirements of the software protocol, as an enhancement or modification module, to realize functions that the software does not have but we want to realize. From this perspective, TORC Multiphysics has almost The possibilities are endless.”
Yao Mengna explained from the side.
“As for why it was not mentioned during the training...”
Speaking of this, she glanced at He Ming with a meaningful look:
“This kind of model The team needs to design and write from scratch, and only those who are very proficient in programming languages, algorithms, and mathematical theories such as solving high-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations can do it, so..."
"Understood ”
He Ming nodded quickly when he heard this, indicating that Yao Mengna understood.
It would be unseemly to say any more.
After all, lies don’t hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
“Forget it, in the future, as everyone’s application level of simulation improves, the efficiency problem of block assembly of this large model will become more and more common, and it will not be your problem alone.”
Chang Haonan thought for a while and felt that it is indeed unreasonable to let current users expand this core function by themselves:
"You guys put these two parts aside first. It just so happens that the feedback from various parties recently is being analyzed and processed. After I return to the capital, I will iterate out a new version as soon as possible."
"So Will a new version be released soon?”
Yao Mengna next to her was also worried about this matter, but when she heard what Chang Haonan said, she still looked at Chang Haonan in surprise:
"The total number of current users of this software is nearly 800, and every major update iteration is a major project."
As a technician who participated in the development process of TORC Multiphysics software, Yao Mengna has a deep understanding of her own product The situation is still understood.
Software these days rarely has an online update function, and many computers are not connected to the Internet for safety reasons. Updates can only be done offline, so it is impossible to update whenever there is nothing like more than 20 years later. Small version.
In particular, many industrial software that pursues stability may not be updated every few years or even ten years after installation.
(The author went to a petrochemical company to work on a project in 2017 and found that their production monitoring software was customized from our school and has not been updated since 1996. In order to run this software, he even left a special I have two computers with win98 system...)
TORCHMultiphysics initially had 744 domestic users and 17 foreign users, and some more have been added during this period.
Software updates are sometimes more complicated than installing new software. In some cases, the manufacturer may even need to send technical personnel for guidance.
In short, it is a very troublesome thing to think about.
However, Chang Haonan’s understanding of software updates is naturally completely different from that of people of this era.
Especially for numerical calculation software for research and some industrial control software for production, the speed of version iteration is critical.
Why did China never catch up with similar foreign products in the field of industrial software in the previous life?
To a large extent, this is because there is no way to collect enough user data to support efficient version update iterations. Many manufacturers are limited by this and have to install castrated versions of industrial control software customized from abroad for the machine tools they produce.
Not only is it unable to fully unleash the performance potential of the machine tool itself, it also gives valuable data to foreign companies in vain.
“It’s been more than three months, and it’s time for an iteration, especially for this key function. Not only you, but other brother units may also use it at any time.”
Chang Hao Nan opted for the long-story explanation.
Of course, the problem Yao Mengna said does exist. If nearly 800 users are updated, then Torch Company will indeed not be able to withstand this kind of work intensity.
Moreover, the current level of TORCH Multiphysics is in the form of dimensionality reduction, and it needs to find a balance between improving user stickiness and ensuring technical barriers.
Some things are still too advanced to be displayed.
After pausing for a moment, he added:
“As for the number of updates, this time, including future updates, will definitely be given priority to users of the professional upgraded version like us. , as for the professional version, the update needs to be postponed according to the actual situation, or several small versions can be integrated into one large version release. "
"Like the overlapping network based on non-structured grids I just mentioned. The lattice algorithm is the latest technology and may even have to be delayed for several years before it is released to all users. ”
He Ming, who was standing behind, brightened up.
The status of being a user of the professional enhanced version was immediately reflected.
This is also why the products of many major Internet manufacturers will treat different levels of users differently.
If you don’t let rich brother experience the feeling of mastering others, why would rich brother throw money at you?
Chang Haonan’s reasoning is the same.
Although he does not need money from Brother Fu, he also needs to increase the recognition of users of the professional enhanced version.
After all, after the official version is released, the price of the extra large cup will probably be more than an order of magnitude higher than that of the large cup.
And another point is that this can indirectly promote foreign companies to take the initiative to carry out technical exchanges and cooperation with China.
Just like the automotive research institute that Fiat and Jinling Automobile cooperate with.
In fact, what automotive technology does Jinling Motors have that Fiat can cooperate with?
It's nothing more than obtaining software authorization in advance through this method.
What does it mean to bring noodles with a little bit?
This is called point-to-point.
Besides, Chang Haonan is not doing charity.
He can also benefit from it——
As long as the entire industrial software industry chain is deeply bound, Torch Company, despite its small scale, can have a high say in all walks of life.
The right to speak of Torch Company is naturally that of Chang Haonan.
"Will this cause the regular version... uh, I mean, what are the opinions of the professional version users?"
Although it feels good to be treated differently and enjoy privileges, but After all, the boss of the company was still in front of him, so He Ming decided to express his concern for the overall situation.
In the end, Chang Haonan waved his hands nonchalantly:
"On the contrary, only in this way can we show that our software has a transcendent status in the industry and has a noble pedigree!"
"Just like the machine tools you are using now, I just saw several machines made in Switzerland in the workshop Starrag, is the model they exported to us a fully functional version?”
He Ming has been working in this industry for almost thirty years, and he is almost the one who “breaks through the foreign technology blockade”. A microcosm of an entire career.
Under this background, it is indeed difficult for him to imagine that one day he can reverse block others in the technical field.
But now that Chang Haonan mentioned it like this, it suddenly made sense:
"That's right. Anyway, I heard from Yao Gong that even the professional version sold to ordinary users is much better than similar software such as PEGASUS now..."
