On March 22, 2018, ANSYS, a global leader and innovator in the engineering simulation software industry, announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire OPTIS, a leading software provider in the fields of optics, human vision and physical visualization science simulation. Like ANSYS, OPTIS is also a leading technology company. The acquisition of such a well-known company in the optics industry has been a surprise. Even more surprising is the fact that OPTIS is ANSYS.
So, what kind of company is OPTIS? What kind of consideration did ANSYS acquire OPTIS?
ã€Recognize OPTIS】
When it comes to OPTIS, you may be unfamiliar, but if you are an engineer using CATIA V5 software, you may have seen colleagues in optical component design using CATIA V5 for optical simulation because OPTIS SPEOS software is integrated into CATIAV5. In fact, SPEOS software is also integrated into SolidWorks, PTC Creo, NX. It can be said that optical simulation companies will almost always use OPTIS products. Its customers include not only well-known companies in the automotive industry such as Audi, Ford, Toyota, and Ferrari; they also include leading companies such as Boeing, Airbus and GE.
Seeing here, you may also think that OPTIS's achievement is no more than that. Xiaobian tells you that since its establishment in 1989, OPTIS has continued to innovate in the field of optics and virtual reality, creating a number of industry firsts. In 1990, OPTIS was the first to provide luminosity and laser propagation simulation; in 1998, the first industrial version of SPEOS for optical simulation in optical systems was released; in 1999, OPTIS was the first to provide colorimetric simulations. Software company; OPTIS was the first optical software company to provide realistic renderings based on physical phenomena in 2000; OPTIS was the first company to provide human visual simulation in 2003; OPTIS was the first company to provide human visual effects in 2004 Simulation company; OPTIS was the first company to provide optical calculations for CAD in 2005; OPTIS was the first company to optimize CAD in 2006; OPTIS created the first portable light and material scan in 2007 In 2010, OPTIS was the first company to offer a physical-based optical simulator; in 2011, OPTIS was the first to provide real-time and physics-based rendering software in a single piece of software.
Today, although OPTIS has only been established for only 30 years, Dassault Systèmes, PTC, and the Siemens giant CAD/CAM software have provided technical know-how and dedicated virtual immersive solutions for re-illumination and human-eye simulation. This also shows that OPTIS is a good company. At present, OPTIS's classic software products include the realistic color and material evaluation software Theia-RT, ergonomic evaluation software HIM, etc. in addition to the optical simulation software SPEOS. The software applications include aircrafts, automobiles, appliances, electronics, precision instruments, and lighting. Equipment, civilian products, medical equipment and other fields.
Why did ANSYS acquire OPTIS? 】
Reason 1: The need for comprehensive simulation.
All along, ANSYS is advocating to provide comprehensive simulation capabilities. Those familiar with ANSYS should know that ANSYS' product portfolio covers fluid, heat, structure, electromagnetic fields, circuits, and systems. Optical products can be said to have no of. The acquisition of OPTIS means that ANSYS has completed the layout of multi-physics optics to help it better realize the concept of comprehensive simulation.
Reason 2: Development of IoT business needs.
For most companies, the Internet of Things is a business opportunity. For ANSYS, the Internet of Things is also a business opportunity. For example, the product development team needs to address the challenges related to sensor design, communication system design, and product reliability. OPTIS' optical simulation tools play an important role in the initial development of LeddarCore integrated chips for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers. It can be said that the ANSYS acquisition, the business development of its Internet of Things is a very important consideration.
Reason 3: The need for digital hygiene services.
Since ANSYS18.0, ANSYS has advocated digital hygiene. It advocates simulating real physical systems through simulation technology. The process of physical products can be continuously simulated from the stage of design to production to the final product. exist. OPTIS' HIM software integrates video, audio, and tactile feedback to create more realistic simulations, allowing more global team members to be coordinated and more involved in all stages of project design and development. The goal of the Digital Hygiene concept advocated is very consistent, and this should be a consideration in the acquisition of ANSYS.
Reason 4: Need for the development of self-driving car business.
With the rapid development of autopilot research and development capabilities and the continuous expansion of competition in the commercialization of auto mass production, any solution that can optimize the development of new technologies and shorten the integration cycle will create tremendous value. ANSYS has its own simulation solution for autonomous vehicles. The acquisition of OPTIS will further expand the market for its solutions. For example, by providing a self-driving car simulation tool, a virtual reconstruction of a self-driving automotive laser radar is applied in reality.
[Effects on the CAE Industry]
The author believes that OPTIS is a single-domain software tool. Although its software tools and solutions are very professional and excellent, the development space is very limited under the siege of other software vendors. Acquired by ANSYS, the combination of the physical solutions for optical simulation and the existing product portfolio of ANSYS will provide each other with a huge competitive advantage in the entire CAE industry. Of course, as for how the market will evolve in the future, we still have to give time to judge it.
Description of zipper braided sleeve
Whether your problem is getting past large connectors or not wanting to disconnect complex cable runs, this Zipper Cable Sleeve side-entry braided wrap is an ideal cable management solution. Zip up cable sleeving is great for wire installations in which only a small portion of the bundle needs to be concealed, and is easily removed and relocated at your convenience.
Our expandable braided zipper sleeving offers exceptional cable protection, but is really used to tidy up exposed cable runs. TV, computer and phone setups can all have a clean and organized cables instead of those ugly cable nests.
Automotive and marine applications such as aftermarket speaker systems, GPS or other component accessories that may need cable organization can benefit from this braided sleeving.
A great feature to this side entry zipper cable wrap is the ability to expand, this is due to the loose braided weave which allows the flexibility if your cords create a tight fit.
The purpose of putting a protective cover on the wire harness is to reflect the quality and stability of a wire harness protection braided sleeve, and it is inseparable from the outer protective layer, such as the wire harness protection braided sleeve used outside the wire harness, which is good or bad. Some aspects determine the quality of a set of harnesses. During these years, when visiting customers, I often see or hear the customer's reaction. Some mechanical protection of the wire harness used to protect the wire harness protects the quality of the braided sleeve. For example, some machines will generate heat when working, which requires the material of the wire harness protection braided sleeve to have better temperature resistance, but often see It is a lot of wire harnesses that have been used for a year or even months to protect the braided sleeve from breaking, aging, falling off, and more serious melting or fire.
