Russian CAD- and PLM-solutions have been created, in which 1.2 billion rubles have been invested

On October 12, 2023, it became known about the creation in Russia of domestic CAD- and PLM-solutions, in which 1.2 billion rubles were invested. We are talking about the products of the company "ASCONS," which have already begun to be tested by the United Engine Corporation (UEC) (part of the state corporation "Rostec").

Russian engineering software, which will replace foreign analogues, is planned to be used in the development of promising engines, such as PD-35 and PD-8V. The project is being implemented at the expense of the Russian Information Technology Development Fund. The commissioning of domestic software in commercial operation is scheduled for the end of 2026.

It became known about the creation of domestic CAD- and PLM-solutions

The creation of Russian engineering software is the central task of the ICS "Engine Building." Our own PLM and CAD solutions will make it possible not to depend on foreign developers and to ensure the technological sovereignty of the domestic industry. At the UEC-Aviadvigatel enterprise, testing of the developed systems has begun, based on its results, the necessary improvements will be made. The latest aircraft engines, such as PD-8V and PD-35, are planned to be created on their own software products, "said Andrey Komarov, director of digital transformation at Rostec, quoted by the press service of the state corporation.

According to the general director of "Ascon" Maxim Bogdanov, by mid-October 2023, the first stage of the joint venture "UEC-aircraft engine" of the project was completed. As part of this phase, requirements for the revision and implementation of engineering software have been formed. The private technical assignments take into account the requirements of UEC enterprises, which will allow replicating the project results throughout the engine industry, Bogdanov said.^[1]
