TapTechNews, May 11th - According to the Digital Industrial Software Alliance (DISA), the Cloud Geometry Technology Workshop and the OGG1.0 launch ceremony were held in Shenzhen in April. The event was hosted by DISA, the Guangdong Digital Society, and co-organized by the OpenGeometry open source community (referred to as OGG) among others.
OGG, incubated by DISA and operated by the open-source company Open Geometry as a service, aims to offer a 'Second Choice for Global Industrial Software'.
DISA's Secretary General and Chairman of the OpenDISA Project Management Committee, Qiu Shuiping, introduced the strategic layout of the OGG open source project and the management mechanism of OpenDISA. He stated that developing a new generation of industrial software kernels based on the globally unique engineering-valued open-source core, OCCT, is a strategic choice to ensure the continual and controllable nature of industrial software. The OpenDISA Project Management Committee is responsible for managing DISA's open-source projects, with OGG being the inaugural project.
At the release event, a core contributor agreement between Huawei and DISA was also signed for the OGG open-source community project. Huawei has open-sourced all 486 enhanced geometric kernel codes to the OGG community.
Industrial software company representatives at the event said, 'With Huawei leading the release of enhanced codes, it will continuously enhance OGG's services and capabilities, also aiding our industrial software businesses to better acquire related geometric services. We believe that with Huawei's support, OGG services will keep improving.'
TapTechNews discovered that the OGG1.0 (OGG2024.4PreviewBeta) version has been released on the OpenGeometry official community website (opengeometry.cn) and is now recruiting for public beta testing.
The Gitee page indicates that OGG is a software development platform offering 3D surfacing and solid modeling, CAD data exchange, and visualization services. Most functionalities of OGG are provided in the form of C++ libraries. OGG is suited for developing 3D modeling (CAD), manufacturing/measurement (CAM), or numerical simulation (CAE) software. OGG is designed as a direct alternative to OCCT, 'boasting more features, fewer errors, and better performance'.
Last November 5th, Huawei Cloud collaborated with software vendors like Hotech Software, USCloud, Huatian Software, and several others to launch the hardware development production line, CraftArts.
Huawei’s CTO for Industrial Software and Industrial Cloud, Qiu Shuiping, noted that currently, over 18,000 Huawei engineers are developing on the CraftArts PCB EDA toolchain daily. Huawei is working closely with major partner enterprises to redefine the architecture, standards, technology, and methodology of industrial software, building a new generation of industrial software systems.
