About Maixi Software

Hunan Maixi Software Co., Ltd., operating as Maixi Software, is a developer of industrial computer-aided engineering (CAE) software. The company was established in August 2020 as a result of technology transfer from Hunan University and is headquartered in Changsha, China, with subsidiaries in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Zhengzhou. The founder and chairman, Xiangyang Cui, is also the deputy director of the National Key Laboratory of Advanced Vehicle Design and Manufacturing Technology at Hunan University. The company leverages over 30 years of CAE simulation algorithm research and engineering experience from the university. Maixi Software provides a full-stack product ecosystem that includes simulation engines (MxSim), design optimization software (MxDesign), cloud services (MxCloud), a scientific computing library (MxScienLab), and educational modules (MxSim.Edu). The product suite is designed to serve a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, marine, defense, and rail transit. Key products include MxSim for engineering simulation—which covers structural analysis, fluid dynamics, and multi-physics—and MxDesign for multidisciplinary design optimization. These tools address complex simulation challenges such as high-impact collisions, explosions, and multi-scale coupling, aiming to solve "bottleneck" problems in high-end equipment development. The company generates revenue through the provision of its industrial software. The company has achieved significant milestones, including receiving CMMI Level 3 and ISO9001:2015 certifications in 2021 and releasing its initial software versions, MxSimV1.0 and MxDesignV1.0, in 2022. In December 2025, Maixi Software secured approximately CNY 100 million in a venture funding round led by Shenzhen Capital Real Estate Fund. The funds are intended for the continued research and development of its domestic CAE software system, product iteration, and market expansion. By early 2026, Maixi's CAE software was listed on the Huawei Cloud store as a key component of its industrial simulation toolchain. The company's client list includes major automotive manufacturers like GAC Group, BYD, and FAW Group, who have started trial use of the software.
