Industrial software refers to the software dedicated to the industrial field, including systems, applications, middleware, embedded and so on. Industrial software is generally divided into two types: embedded software and non-embedded software. Embedded software is the acquisition, control and communication software embedded in the controller, communication and sensing device. Non-embedded software is the design, CSA464AE programming, process, monitoring, management and other software installed in the general purpose computer or industrial control computer. Especially embedded software, used in military electronics and industrial control and other fields, the reliability, security, real-time requirements are particularly high, must go through strict inspection and evaluation, but also special emphasis on design-related software, such as AutoCAD, CAE and so on.

Industrial software plays a very important role in product design, complete equipment design, plant design, industrial system design, can greatly improve the level of industrial enterprise research and development, manufacturing, production management, improve industrial management performance and design efficiency, effectively save costs, and achieve visual management, is the “brain” of modern industrial equipment, but also the manufacturing industry landing CSA464AE industrial Internet. A powerful weapon for transforming intelligent manufacturing.

The world’s major industrial software manufacturers: Dassault Systemes, Siemens Digital Industrial software, Autotable, PTC, Syrs, CADENCE, AVEVA, ANSYS, ALTAIR, Hexon, ESI, ZUKEN, ALTIUM, ARAS, etc. The following are the eight major software powers in the world:

The United States is one of the world leaders in industrial software. In fact, the largest industrial software company in the United States is Lockheed Martin. In the 1960s, manual hand-drawn drawings have been unable to control the increasingly complex product needs, the United States Boeing, Lockheed, NASA and other space giants began to develop industrial software to replace manual drawing. Because computer technology can better express product needs and can eliminate human-driven physical devices.

Especially during the Cold War, in order to reduce the cost of expensive military software, the United States carried out military-civilian integration, and Lockheed looked at the opportunity to dive into the industrial CSA464AE software field. It is worth mentioning that the industrial software developed during this period is used by enterprises for their own use, and later in order to earn profits, a lot of software is converted to commercial use, and is still active in the market now has Lockheed investment and Dassault developed CADAM; UG developed by McDonnell Douglas; ANSYS developed by the Westinghouse Space Nuclear Laboratory.

The United States attaches great importance to the development of software and industrial software, for example, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, together with GE, Pratt & Whitney and other companies, the NPSS software developed in 20 years, embedded in a large number of engine design knowledge, methods and technical parameters, can complete a round of aero engine design within a day. For example, the entire development process of Boeing 787 used more than 8,000 kinds of industrial software, of which less than 1,000 kinds are commercial software, and the remaining 7,000 kinds are private software accumulated by Boeing for many years, not for sale, including Boeing’s core engineering technology.

Industrial software is the foundation of future strategic CSA464AE emerging industries, without industrial software, intelligent manufacturing is a fantasy. Today, almost every industrial product in the world is an important crystallization of industrial software.

The United States is the first country in the world to develop CAE, and it began with NASA. With the support of state funding, NASA developed the famous finite element analysis software Nastran. In 1971, MSC improved the Nastran program, thus becoming the originator of simulation software in the United States.

Most of the top software of basic software such as CAD and CAE in the world is in the hands of European and American countries. When it comes toCAD, many people think that Autodesk’s AutoCAD, in fact, in addition to Autodesk (Autodesk) in the United States, France’s Dassault (Dassault), Germany’s SIEMENS (SIEMENS), and the United States Parametric Technology Company (PTC) are all the head enterprises of CAD. And these four enterprises occupy more than 90% of the domestic CAD market share. It is worth mentioning that Ansys (US AnSE Technology), Altair(US Austiel Software), MSC (US Novastron) basically monopolized the CAE field.

According to the data in 2020, the world industrial software market size reached 435.8 billion US dollars. In particular, the three giants of EDA software Cadence (CADence Electronics of the United States), Synopsys (Synopsys of the United States), Mentor (Mentor Electronics, a subsidiary of Siemens of Germany) occupy 90% of the global market share, and the market share in China is 95%.
